INTRODUCTION 



Your birthday is the most important day in your life — 
for unless you had been born, you certainly would not 
be here at all! And yet how few people realize the 
importance and significance of that event! Out of all 
eternity, how came it about that you were born just 
when you were? Why should that moment of time be 
set apart for your birth more than any other? Wise 
men who have thought on this question say that this 
cannot be due to mere chance ; there must be some reason, 
some law, at work. They set about ascertaining this law 
— which relates to the time of birth — and discovered it in 
the science of Astrology. 

Every one is born under slightly different influences 
and circumstances; so no two people are exactly alike. 
No matter whether they are members of the same family, 
they may be strikingly dissimilar, and outsiders would 
not recognize them as brothers and sisters. 

This, says Astrology, is because the aspects of the 
heavens — the influences brought to bear upon the infant 
at the moment of birth — are so different. 

Astrology was believed in by many of the wisest men 
in history. To test the claims of astrology, it is only 
necessary to have a personal reading made of the life. 
For this, the exact date and hour of birth is necessary — 



4 Introduction 

so that the various combinations and aspects of the 
planets may be figured out accurately; but, while this 
individual reading is, of course, by far the most satis- 
factory — nevertheless, certain signs and aspects are said 
to influence all born on a certain day, in some degree. 
I shall try to outline very briefly some of these character 
delineations, in the pages which follow. 

Astrology is believed in by all but the prejudiced — by 
those who have never investigated its claims. It is an 
experimental science, like any other science; and its 
claims can be proved as readily as any other, if they be 
put to the test. Try for yourself, and you will soon 
prove the truth of these words! In the readings that 
follow, I do not doubt that the majority of my readers 
will see themselves painted in only too vivid colorings; 
and if this is true of a general reading — unguided by 
any sure and positive data — how much more certain and 
accurate would a reading be, based upon such facts ! The 
truth of astrology would soon be proved to sceptics, if 
they would but investigate its grand teachings. 

Adieu, gentle reader; may you learn and profit by the 
wisdom contained in the following pages. This wisdom 
is not mine; it resides in the great Universe of God; 
and I, the humblest of his servants, merely read and 
interpret it in the language of the Earth — for those yet 
living. 

peace be unto you. 

Leo Bernart. 



ASTROLOGICAL BIRTHDAY BOOK 



JANUARY 1 

Born with great determination and strength of char- 
acter, you are a natural leader in most things and have 
a strength of personality which inclines you to the mili- 
tary life. You would, in fact, make a good soldier. You 
are fond of family life and have a great love for those 
around you — brothers, sisters, etc. Compared with the 
ties of blood relationship, all other ties seem small to 
you. You are naturally, something of a fighter, but not 
unless you feel you have right on your side. You do 
not care much for the opinion of others, but are admired 
by a large circle of friends for all that — perhaps for this 
independence of character. A woman born on this day 
is the absolute ruler in her own home. She is methodi- 
cal and orderly. She is also inclined to be a little too 
dogmatic at times. A good deal of travel is marked out 
for you, and in a business way you will be quite success- 
ful. All that you will have will be the result of your own 
efforts, however. Beware of contracts and partnerships, 
which do not omen well for one born this day. Your 
love-nature is strong, and you will doubtless make a 
happy marriage, fairly early in life. 

Famous Person Born This Day

IS Astrological Birthday Book 

JANUARY 2. 

~You are extremely tactful and resourceful, if born this 
'day, and love intrigue and delicate affairs of all kinds. 
You have a great eye for detail and are a good judge 
of human nature. You are a hard worker and do not 
take many holidays. You are not naturally affectionate, 
.though you often do acts of kindness which you know 
will be appreciated. You are intensely interested in 
practical and material things, and this side of your nature 
you have probably developed until it dwarfs your spirit- 
ual side. You are inclined to be melancholy at times, and 
this you should aim to overcome partly by mental 
methods and partly by making yourself go outdoors 
more into the air and sunshine, even if you don't care 
to. You will probably travel a little, but not very exten- 
sively. If you marry at all it will be practical, common- 
sense affair, in which romance does not figure very 
largely. 

On the other hand, you have a tender and refined 
streak in you, if it is touched, which surprises those who 
don't know you when they find it. You must learn to 
concentrate more than you do, and learn the value of 
loving everyone you meet. For "love begets love" in 
return. Money will probably come to you from unex- 
pected sources late in life. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Cardinal Richelieu. 



JANUARY 3. 

If born this day you are probably a happy-go-lucky, 
Jovial nature which is infectious in its good nature. You 
love everybody and everybody loves you in return. You 
are the life and fun of a party whenever a large number 
of persons are gathered together. They naturally look to 
you for leadership, which you usurp, quite unconscious- 
ly, but simply by force of your great vitality and good 



Astrological Birthday Book 7 

nature. You are fond of children and animals and are 
of a loving nature, though not at all sentimental. You 
make friends easily and are at home wherever you go. 
You are earnest and sincere. If you live in a large 
city these will be your distinguishing characteristics, but 
if you live alone to any great extent a great change 
may come over you, and you may become quite ascetic 
and religious in your life. It all depends! You are 
wholesome and sweet, however, and of a straightio. 
upright nature. 

There is a deep, sweet side to your nature, not much 
understood. You can love deeply and tenderly, but are 
inclined to exact much from your lover in return. You 
will have many ups and downs, but grit your teeth ; live 
up to your highest ideals; and your life will prove a 
great success. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Father Damien. 



JANUARY 4. 

You are fond of travel and will probably have a good 
deal of it in your life. You are interested in other 
nations and their ways, and would like to study this side 
of them if you travelled abroad. You like comfort, but 
you can also do without it, if it is not forthcoming, and 
make "the best of a bad bargain." You are in many ways 
a mixture of opposite tendencies and desires. You are 
a living example of that verse of Longfellow's, where he 
says: 

Our little lives are kept in equipoise 

By opposite attractions and desires, 
The Struggle of the instinct that enjoys, 

And the more noble instinct that aspires. 

Born this day you really have exceptional talents, and 
you can become one of the great men or women of your 
time if you make up your mind to concentrate, study and 



8 r Astrological Birthday Book 

work. Be more serious. You are inclined to think a 
good deal of yourself, and should cultivate a more open 
and frank attitude towards people. You could make 
another very happy, if you only thought of them, instead 
of yourself more fully. You will make money, lose it, 
and make it again — so don't be discouraged by seeming 
misfortunes. "God's in his Heaven, and All's right with 
the world." Don't forget that ! 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Gen. Thomas J. Page. 



JANUARY 5 

You are a natural leader — this being due to your 
ability, however, rather than to force of character or 
bodily power. You are active and dislike being idle a 
single minute. You always want to be up and doing 
something. You would make a fine writer, a good 
teacher or diplomat, and could fill well any position 
offered to you, no matter what it might be or how great 
its responsibilities. You are fond of travel and have a 
great many friends all over the country, so that wherever 
you go you are sure of a hearty welcome. You are 
persistent and persevering. You will probably marry 
young and should be exceedingly happy in married life. 
Women born this day are also clever, pretty and affec- 
tionate. They will probably marry young and have a 
family. They are good managers and can design any- 
thing well. They are often great powers for good. Both 
men and women born this day are, as a rule, very loyal 
and true. 

You must get out of a rut early on in life, and strike 
out for yourself. You doubtless have dramatic talent, 
also literary ability. You have good taste, a pleasant 
personality, and have the power to please, if you want 
to do so! 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Henry Loom is Nelson, for long the editor of the 
Boston Post. 



Astrological Birthday Book 9 

JANUARY 6. 

The men and women born on this day often differ 
greatly. The women are inclined to be intuitive, spiritual 
minded and interested in occult and philosophical sub- 
jects. They have a good deal of poise and earnestness 
in all they do, and are above all original and ingenious. 
The men, on the contrary, are very practical and busi- 
ness-like. These subjects do not attract them at all. 
They are just and fair, but their own interests always 
come first, in their case. They are obstinate and great 
believers in the maxim: "Any means to an end." They 
must not push this too far, however, or it may one day 
be the cause of their undoing. You (men) have a very 
obstinate and selfish nature to fight against, and if you 
succeed in conquering it it will be a great credit to you. 
Only, you must wage the battle continuously. All that 
you have you will accomplish by your own unaided ef- 
forts. Your nature is a little hard and this is the great 
fault you must learn to overcome above all others. 

Never speak ill of your neighbors. Think well of all, 
and give them "the benefit of the doubt." You will be 
successful in money-matters, but only after many trials. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 
Joan of Arc and Charles Sumner. 



JANUARY 7. 

If born this day you are probably very sociable in 
nature and have a large number of friends of both sexes. 
You are kind and generous. You have distinct dramatic 
ability, which is shown most in your power of imitation 
and in your ability to tell stories as they should be told. 
You have great personal magnetism, are ambitious and 
there is no end to the things you want to do and accom- 
plish. You are diplomatic and have plenty of tact. You 
are self-confident and never rely upon others to any 
great extent. You are not the kind of person who makes 



10 Astrological Birthday Book 

a great success under others ; you should be independent. 
If a wife you want a certain amount of money each 
week to spend as you like, with no one to ask you any 
questions as to where it went. You cannot bear that. 
Smallness and pettiness are not in your nature. At the 
same time you are inclined to find fault with others too 
readily and this, above all else, is the fault you must 
learn to eradicate from your nature. You are fond of 
games and sports of all kinds and naturally athletic. You 
are original, capable and sensible. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 

Charles Klein and Rev. T. De Witt Talmadge. 



JANUARY 8. 

You have large projects in mind which you find diffi- 
cult to accomplish, simply because you lack some essen- 
tial thing. It may be money ; it may be education ; it may 
be opportunity; but study out just what ;c? missing in 
your case and resolve to obtain it by persistent work and 
study. When you have once done so undoubted and 
brilliant success will be yours. You have many discour- 
agements in your life and many adverse trials to face. 
You rise above all of them, however, by sheer force of 
character and will. Yet you are often downcast and 
disheartened. You do not believe in living your life in 
any haphazard way, but plan ahead a good deal, and 
often think out exactly what you will do on the morrow 
before going to sleep the night before. You are careful, 
sincere and honest. You should make one of the op- 
posite sex happy, as you have the power to do so. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 
Gen. Longstreet and Augustus Thomas. 



JANUARY 9. 

You are a little too sure of your own judgment. It 
is usually good and correct, but, like all things, it needs 



Astrological Birthday Booh 11 

revision and overhauling every now and then! Both 
men and women born this day should marry young, as 
they miss the best of life if they do not do so. The ruby 
is a lucky stone for you to wear, or the moonstone. 
Women born to-day are naturally pretty and attractive, 
but they should be dressed well, to bring this out more 
fully. All shades of silver and gray ought to be very 
becoming to them, or at times darker shades of blue or 
black. They should not, as a rule, wear vivid colors. 
Men also, born this day, should be well dressed. Both 
men and women are full of courage and grit ; they follow 
up anything they undertake. They are generous and 
open-handed, and despise any one who is not. March 
and November should be good months for them to under- 
take any important venture. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

William Harvey, the discoverer of the circulation of 
the blood. 



JANUARY 10. 

You have a good deal of self j control, but are apt to 
fly up into unreasonable tempers at times. Tuesday and 
Saturday should be good days for you to begin any im- 
portant undertaking. You are inclined to be delicate and 
should take care of your health, particularly your lungs, 
which are inclined to be weak. Live out of doors as 
much as possible and practise deep breathing exercises. 
You are rather optimistic and inclined to look on the 
bright side of things. You are of a sociable nature ^.nd 
naturally crave company. You are always at your best 
under these conditions. Hence, you should not live in the 
country, which is not suited to your temperament. You 
are fond of intellectual pursuits and studies, but remem- 
ber that love and duty are higher human attributes than 
intellect, and that these are the most important in the 
long run. You have great, natural abilities and powers, 
which, if your health permits, and you determine to exer- 



12 Astrological Birthday Book 

cise, should bring you into prominence. You have great 
determination. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Marshal Ney, the famous French general. 



JANUARY 11. 

You are steadfast and not easily swayed by flattery. 
You are original and inventive ; far-seeing, have an open 
and well-balanced mind and are receptive to new truths 
— except, perhaps, upon one or two points, in which you 
are very dogmatic. You are careful in your dealings 
and rarely come out at "the short end of the deal." You 
can be very sarcastic when you want to be, and this 
sometimes makes you enemies. Often you do not know 
this, however, as they are friendly when you meet face 
to face. You make the most of your natural gifts and 
talents and have a good future. Only learn to be stead- 
fast to friends and principles alike, and you should have 
a very successful life. 

You are resourceful, ambitious, and easily encouraged 
or discouraged. You have good taste and judgment; 
and much more goes on beneath that calm exterior of 
yours than people imagine! Be a little more frank and 
generous, and things will come your way more fully. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Alexander Hamilton. 



JANUARY 12. 

You are sympathetic and dislike seeing others suffer; 
yet a natural and involuntary reserve in yourself makes 
you hesitate to show this. It is hard for you to do so, 
in fact. You are careful and shrewd and can "take care 
of your own affairs." To you "business is business." 
At home you are another being. You are fond of your 



Astrological Birthday Book 13 

family and children. You are material in temperament 
and not at all interested in the spiritual side of things. 
Your life is not always happy, but you live through it 
with the same sort of grim determination which enables 
you to withstand physical pain when you have to. Your 
marriage will probably be practical rather than romantic. 
You take a great interest in all new inventions, and like 
to apply everything you see or hear about to your daily 
life. 

Yet while you are practical, you are also kind and 
sympathetic, if rightly touched. Pay more attention than 
you do to your dreams and intuitions ; they are valuable 
in your case. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
John Hancock. 



JANUARY 13. 

You have a peculiar temperament. It is a very deep 
nature, one hard to comprehend. You are cautious and 
secretive, and are always in an intrigue of some kind. 
You love power and for that reason want money — for the 
power it will give you. You are something of a fatalist, 
and determined to get the most you can out of life. If 
at all religious you are rather orthodox in your views. 
You are a strong character who can yourself suffer, and 
can also see others suffer, if needs be, so that justice may 
be satisfied. There is a little too much of this about you; 
you are inclined to be hard and cold, and need a little 
more of the milk of human kindness. At the same time 
your stern character has its advantages. You are loyal, 
sincere, true, honest, but always politic! 

In business affairs, you will be more than usually 
successful, and travel will come to you later in life. You 
will love and be loved much. Don't wear your "heart on 
your sleeve," happiness never comes in that way, but is 



14 Astrological Birthday Booh 

often lost. You can be very charming when you want 
to be. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Salmon P. Chase. 



JANUARY 14. 

Born on this day you have a large share of ambition 
and the desire to "get ahead" in the world — not only 
on the financial side, but also in the way of gratifying 
your ambition. You are very original; have good busi- 
ness abilities ; are inventive, very curious, sociable, rather 
optimistic. You should never lose confidence in yourself, 
but always keep up a brave front, no matter how adverse 
the circumstances may appear. This is more than usually 
important in your oase, since persons born this week are 
apt to despond readily if things do not accord with their 
wishes and desires. It is very important that they hold 
out, however, and put on a bold front through all adver- 
sity. You are inclined to be material and to neglect the 
other side of yourself. Do not undervalue the things of 
the mind and the soul. If born this day you should pay 
particular attention to your feet and legs, since these 
are likely to bother you, especially in damp weather. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 

Benedict Arnold and The Marquis of Lansdowne. 



JANUARY 15. 

If to-day is your birthday you have, according to the 
teachings of astrology, the following characteristics. 
You are a good judge of human nature and inclined to be 
sceptical and cynical and look on the dark side of things 
too much. At the same time there is a strain of humor 
in your make-up which enables you to see the humorous 
side of a situation, even when it looks the blackest. You 



Astrological Birthday Book 15 

have a certain amount of self-assurance, but this is right 
in your case and is not overdone. You must have 
confidence in yourself and your plans, or otherwise they 
will not succeed. You are well poised and seldom lose 
your temper. You are affectionate, naturally, and desire 
the same from others. You are a very feminine woman 
(if a woman) and not at all the "mannish" type. If a 
man, you are manly, bluff and hearty. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Moliere. the famous dramatist. 



JANUARY 16. 

You have great penetration, if born this day, and 
should be a splendid reader of character. You can "size 
up" a situation quickly and see its good and its bad 
points. You have talent in several directions, which 
should certainly be cultivated. This is particularly noted 
in artistic and musical lines, and in these you should da 
some really good creative work. Yours is not the talent 
for mere execution, but for creation. Your judgment is 
also very good, however, and reasoning powers good, 
This is rare with one of your otherwise artistic tempera- 
ment and shows that you possess a remarkably rounded 
out character. Your temperament is also bright and 
buoyant on the whole. You are sincere and earnest in 
all that you do. You have deeply set ways of thinking 
of things and like your own way. On the whole a very- 
good character is yours, if you live up to your capabilities. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Nicholas Longworth. 



JANUARY 17. 

You are cautious in all you undertake and do and slow- 
in making up your mind, as a rule. Your life is one of 



16 'Astrological Birthday Book 

changes, and takes you through a constantly shifting 
scene of events, but all of these are for the best. Your 
ability generally pulls you out of any difficulty you may 
get into. You are ambitions and anxious to have and 
utilize power. For this end you want money, which you 
spend with a free hand — when necessary — in order to 
secure the desired result. You like the "real" thing of 
life and not the gaudy "make believes." You are inclined 
to be severe in your judgment of others, and this you 
must learn to control. Realize that you are not placed in a 
position of justice, but simply as one human being among 
a lot of others, and subject to faults of character — just 
as they are. You have a great respect for the unseen 
and unknown, though you do not pretend to believe in it. 
You have distinct scientific abilities should you choose to 
culivate them. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 

Benjamin Franklin and Weismann. 



JANUARY 18. 

Your chief characteristic, if born this day, is your fine 
and strong intellect, your keen discrimination and good 
reasoning ability. You possess courage and power and 
the ability to put into operation anything that strikes you 
as particularly good. You have good business ability, 
but also talent in other directions. Thus you should 
write well, as you have distinct ability in that direction. 
You can shoulder any responsibility which comes along, 
partly because you do not feel its weight and responsi- 
bility as much as many others would in your position. 
You are firm in your beliefs and nearly always draw 
logical conclusions from the views you hold. You are 
naturally affectionate, but chiefly to your blood relations 
and near friends, and you do not scatter your friendship 



Astrological Birthday Book 17 

over a large number of acquaintances. You should make 
a good public speaker. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 
Daniel Webster and Olga Nethersole. 



JANUARY 19. 

You are inclined to be reserved, quiet and calm under 
all circumstances, and are considered to have a very level 
head by all who know you. You do not do anything 
foolishly. You inspire a good deal of confidence, and if 
there were any trouble brewing you would be the person 
all would turn to naturally as the one having the most 
practical ideas as to how to get out of the difficulty. 
You are fit for an emergency and always cool and calm 
at such times. This is one of your strongest points. You 
are cautious and do not believe in investing your money 
in uncertain ventures or gambling it in Wall street. At 
the same time you are not stingy. You are not very 
loving in disposition, but true and affectionate. You 
would be a good person to marry, as you know your own 
mind, and, when it is once made up it is probably made 
up "for good." Also, you do not crave constant outside 
attractions and distractions. You are well liked and 
have few if any enemies. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 
Edgar A. Poe and Gen. Lee. 



JANUARY 20. 

You have a marked talent for ingenious mechanical 
pursuits and when a child probably showed great ability 
in that direction. You can do a variety of things and 
do them all more or less well. You have marked literary 
ability, especially in the line of poetry. You would make 



18 'Astrological Birthday Book 

a good linguist and, if you travelled abroad, as you doubt- 
less will later on in life, you will be enabled to pick up 
the language of the country in which you are residing 
easily. You have distinct and peculiar leanings and 
talents, and it will be useless for you to try and fight 
against these and overcome them. You had best stick to 
them and go without a great deal at first, so that you 
may ultimately triumph over your difficulties and do the 
work you are fitted for. You are probably of rather 
small stature, gentle in nature, self-reliant and take a 
great interest in all that pertains to the psychical and 
mystical. In this you are not credulous or superstitious, 
however, only interested and more of an investigator. 
You will probably have several love affairs, which will 
influence your life, and you will not ever get entirely free 
from the influence of one of them. You will probably 
marry fairly young and have a large family. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 

Richard Le Gallienne and Gen. Richard Henry 
Lee, the statesman. 



JANUARY 21. 

Born this day, you have great strength of character, 
and a natural force which makes you naturally a leader 
of men. You are quiet, reserved and dignified, and gen- 
erally beloved by those in immediate association with you. 
You are cool and a good person in time of an emergency. 
You are honest and reliable, but should perhaps be a 
little more frank on occasion. You see the best side of 
everything — particularly everything which concerns your- 
self. You never get into any difficulty which you cannot 
manage to get out of in some way, and you hate to 
acknowledge that you are mistaken. You are clever in 
certain ways, and, under the garb of frankness, you are 
often secretive and shrewd — but in a nice sort of way. 
You have a great love of home and its comforts and 



Astrological Birthday Booh 19 

should marry young — since you are eminently domesti- 
cated at heart. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 

Stonewall Jackson and King Oscar II. 



JANUARY 22. _ 

You are usually generous and whole-souled, but a good 
deal of a "bluff" all the same. You look at things 
through rosy glasses and often induce others to do the 
same. You often make great promises with the best 
faith in the world, yet you know it will be impossible for 
you to "make good" when the time comes. Your happy- 
go-lucky disposition does not let you worry over things 
such as this, however. You are rather stubborn, even 
pig-headed at times. You are a strong character, with 
a good head and a naturally fine intellect, which you are 
too inclined to neglect. You have good literary ability, 
and should write good poetry if ever you become suffi- 
ciently "inspired." Yellow and light blue are the colors 
for you to wear and should be most becoming to you. 
A sapphire is the stone you should wear. A very ardent, 
amorous nature, which it is difficlut to control at times. 
Your love affairs will all be romantic and poetic, however, 
and a great deal of sentiment pervades your life. You 
should learn to be a little more practical. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 
Byron, Francis Bacon and Henry VIII. 



JANUARY 23. 

s You have naturally roving disposition, which makes 
you long to travel and see all parts of the world. You 
doubtless will travel a great deal in your day. You are 
practical and business like and especially interested in 
mathematics. To you, figures might be a recreation and 



20 Astrological Birthday Book 

a hobby. You probably like puzzles of all kinds — ana-^ 
grams, cryptograms, conundrums — anything which makes 
you exercise your mind in this direction and presents 
a problem calling for solution. You are also interested in 
geography, in all probability, and pore over a map with 
as much interest as any one else would over a dime- 
novel. At the same time you have a keen sense of 
humor and are bright and witty at times. You are not 
of the emotional temperament, and like to get an insight 
into life by studying the people you see about you — at 
restaurants, etc. You are a natural money maker and 
will never die poor. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Frederick J. Bliss, the noted explorer. 



JANUARY 24. 

You have a great many difficulties to encounter in your 
life, but you rise triumphant above all of them. You 
have strong religious tendencies at times, though the 
practical affairs of life make them recede into the back- 
ground of your mind and thoughts. You are inclined to 
be reckless, and throw away some good opportunities 
which have been offered to you, simply because of this. 
You like excitement and constant "go," and dislike more 
than anything else to sit down and fold your hands and 
do nothing. Then you complain to others about your "bad 
luck," etc., when the fault is really within yourself, to a 
great extent. You waste your energies, instead of con- 
serving them and using them for definite purposes. You 
must learn the truth of the saying: "To him that hath 
shall be given, and from him that hath not shall be 
taken, even that which he hath." This is particularly 
true in your case. You have great possibilities; make 
use of them and become a really great man or great 
woman.

JANUARY 25. 

You have distinct literary ability, also ability in the line 
of lecturing or speaking in public. You are rather poetic. 
You have a roving, restless disposition, but one adaptable 
to circumstances. You are rather inclined to be lazy, 
and if things are going fairly smoothly you make no 
further effort to make them "go better." You do not 
think enough of the future, but live too much in the 
present. You must develop more foresight. You have 
ability as an actor, as the dramatic talent is clearly marked 
in your life. Your temperament is changing; one day 
you may be despondent and sad ; the next you are 
bubbling over with fun and merriment, and you don't 
know, the cause of this yourself. You must learn to 
understand yourself. Make a study of your own char- 
acter, and try to eliminate its faults. Admit frankly to 
yourself what these are, and don't try to conceal them. 
If you once gain this mastery over yourself you can 
easily win mastery over your surroundings, for you have 
a good deal of natural ability. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Robert Burns. 



JANUARY 26. 

You have great natural psychic power if born this day, 
and are strongly intuitive and responsive. If you enter 
a house you at once know whether you like it or not 
as you somehow "sense" its atmosphere — a "something" 
about it, you can't say what — which either attracts or 
repels you. You are positive and energetic and put all 
your vim and energy into anything you are doing. You 
also have determination and the ability to push things 
through to a successful conclusion. You are very kind- 
hearted and have great sympathy for others and a love 
of humanity. You are a man (or woman) of wide inter- 
ests — observant, a good judge of character. You are 
interested in art and music and are a natural Bohemian. 



22 'Astrological Birthday Book 

At the same time you have an intense interest in things 
scientific — so that you are an exceptionally fine and 
rounded-out character. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Weber, the famous psychologist 



JANUARY 27. 

You have a great deal of ambition if born this day; 
you desire money and position and all that these bring 
you. At the same time there is a streak of laziness in 
your nature which prevents you from getting out and 
"hustling" for this money. You have a natural force 
of character and are independent in your thoughts. You 
are dignified and have a good apperciation of your own 
worth. This does not mean that you are vain, but that 
you know your own powers and capabilities and deter- 
mine that you will get what they are worth. You have 
distinct ability for music and should be enabled to do 
some really good creative work, if ever you settled down 
to serious study. You have a great power of love and 
crave love from others. You are one of those individuals 
who must always be loving somebody and want some- 
body to be loving them. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 

Mozart and The Kaiser of Germany. 



JANUARY 28. 

You are naturally of an artistic nature, but also prac- 
tical in the affairs of life. You have an inveterate love 
of travel, which makes you keenly interested in foreign 
countries and their habits and customs. At one time in 
your life you were probably profoundly interested in 
exploring unknown countries or territories, such as the 



Astrological Birthday Book 23 

bottom of the sea, the vast caves in Kentucky, etc. This 
is very predominant in your nature. You have ability in 
the financial way and should be shrewd in that direction ; 
yet you are something of a dreamer, of an idealist. You 
do not follow out all that you have in mind, and your 
thoughts sometimes "run away with you. You have great 
natural abilities, are loving and affectionate and should 
make a good wife or husband, as the case may be, since 
you are devoted and true. You are naturally restless and 
nervous and need to learn to relax more than you do. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 

Henry M. Stanley and Lyman J. Gage. 



JANUARY 29. 

If born this day you have a naturally fine mind; you 
are scientific in a remarkable degree, if not in detailed 
knowledge, at least in your manner of thinking, that is — 
potentially. You would be a good all-round scientist. 
At the same time you have remarkable psychic powers 
and "leadings" which prompt you at times to take start- 
ling steps and do things which appear odd at the time 
even to yourself. You are probably strongly intuitive. 
Yet you are practical and do not let these things influence 
your good common sense. You are interested in politics 
and would make a good public speaker. You have an 
interest in all things intellectual and rather a contempt 
for those who have not. In build you are probably fair 
and rather tall. Women born tl is day are noted for their 
good looks and also their splendid common sense. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 

Tom Paine, Swedenborg and McKinley. 



JANUARY 30. 

You have, if born this day, one very striking and dis- 
tinguishing characteristic; it is your insatiate curiosity 
on all subjects. I do not mean by this you are interested 



24 Astrological Birthday Book 

in petty scandals and gossip; not at all — you are inter- 
ested in all the out-of-the-way things and "oddities'' of 
human life. If there is an out-of-the-way country, you 
want to explore it; if there is an organ in the human 
body which physiologists cannot understand, you might 
spend your whole life trying to understand its function- 
ings. For this reason you are interested in psychics 
and all occult phenomena, but only in a curious and not 
an emotional way. You are plucky and determined and 
can undergo a great deal of hardship if necessary in 
order to achieve your object You are very interested in 
the human mind for its workings and have great sym- 
pathy for those mentally afflicted. You also have dis- 
tinct abilities in various ways. A very interesting 
character. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Walter Savage Landor, the first explorer of Thibet. 



JANUARY 31. 

You are attractive and fascinating and have a great 
deal of personal magnetism, which draws to you all with 
whom you associate closely. You have a powerful per- 
sonality, and a commanding eye, which seems to master 
all those who dare look you squarely in the face. You 
would make a very successful healer, for this reason, and 
you are often enabled to cure headache, toothache, etc., by 
simply placing your hand over the spot and gently 
stroking it. You may not be aware of this power, but 
you have it. You would make a good teacher or in- 
structor, since you have understanding and a good deal 
of "tact." You always like one of the opposite sex to 
be different from yourself: If you are dark you like 
the other to be light, and vice versa. You are inclined 
to be rather a flirt ; but be careful you do not carry this 
too far or too long — you will end by making the other 
person unhappy and yourself also. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

James G. Blaine. 



Astrological Birthday Book 25 

FEBRUARY 1. 

You are at times sympathetic, yet most of the time 
you are cold and unyielding. You are inclined to pre- 
tend a great deal — that you take an interest in things or 
people when, as a matter of fact, you do not, and simply 
as a matter of policy. You are hospitable and entertain- 
ing, but only to those people whom, you think, will be 
of service to you. Naturally, you are a materialist, 
though you often pretend that you are not — again out of 
policy. You are naturally fond of intrigue, and always 
wait to see which way public opinion will go before you 
announce your own attitude. You are clever, intellectual, 
and interested in a large number of arts and sciences. 
You have a natural taste for literature, and also a busi- 
ness head, which especially fits you to be an organizer. 
Women born this day are loving and domesticated; the 
men not so much so. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Prof. G. Stanley Hall. 



FEBRUARY 2. 

You are very versatile if born this day, and capable 
of many things. You are distinctly literary and could 
write a good novel. You are cold, critical andi un- 
emotional as a rule, yet passionate at the same time! 
You like the other person to do all the love-making, 
while you inwardly criticise this, and analyze all they 
are doing and saying. This faculty does not even leave 
you at the most critical moments of your life. You 
should learn to overcome this and teach yourself to be 
more frank and open — for such a character is, at basis, 
conceited and a very undesirable character to possess. 
You have great natural ability, but are inclined to over- 
estimate this. You are a good talker, but like to hear 
yourself talk a little too much. If a woman, you can 



26 Astrological Birthday Book 

secure a capital bargain, and always get your money's 
worth. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Samuel Richardson, the novelist. 



FEBRUARY 3. 

You are inclined to be discontented with what you 
have, if born this day, and, like the dcg in the fable, let 
go of the bone you have because you see a larger one 
reflected in the water, and hence lose both! You must 
learn the truth of the proverb that "A bird in the hand 
is worth two in the bush." You are a little erratic, but 
on the whole generous and kindly. You have a natural 
power for organizing and take in many wide interests at 
once. You think in big things, nations and empires, and 
cannot bring yourself to consider detail in all is branches. 
You have a good artistic sense, and would make a good 
decorator — either of your own home or those of others. 
If a man you should make a natural promoter. If 
a woman you are suited for professional life, but if 
you have a home of your own, you should have at. 
least one other intellectual interest, since you need this 
outlet for your abilities and energies. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 

Horace Greeley and Lord Salisbury. 



FEBRUARY 4. 

If born this day you are probably of medium height, 
rather dark, attractive, gentle, interested in spiritual and 
esthetic things. You are quiet, self-reliant and reserved. 
You never come to a definite decision until you have 
gone over the situation carefully in your mind and you 
are not to be hurried by any one in making your deliber- 



Astrological Birthday Book 27 

ate choice. You have a great interest in all things per- 
taining to the occult and mysterious, though you keep 
this to yourself and few suspect it. You are nervously 
energetic and apt to wear yourself out. Learn to rest 
more, as you need it, with your disposition and tempera- 
ment. You are not naturally affectionate, but kind, and 
intense at times in your love. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Gen. Halbert E. Paine, the United States Commis- 
sioner of Patents for many years. 



FEBRUARY 5. 

You have good natural common sense if born this day, 
yet you are also a dreamer and an enthusiast and have 
wild notions at times which you want to carry out. You 
are anturally saving and economical, and this may make 
you disliked at times by those with whom you associate. 
On the other hand, this very tendency in your nature is 
what has saved you from financial ruin more than once. 
You have distinct musical talent, especially for the piano 
and certain stringed instruments, and should be able to 
compose. If a woman you are graceful on your feet and 
should specialize in dancing, as you could do this well. 
You might even make a profession of this and utilize 
your talent in this direction. 

You have not great interest in sport and in games 
where chance is involved. They do not tempt you as 
they do some. You rather like making a martyr of your- 
self and then telling others of it later. Do not do it. It 
is not a good trait of character. Cultivate instead greater 
openness and frankness; be honest with yourself, and 
you should develop a fine character. 

Famous Persons Born This Day

FEBRUARY 6. 

Born this day you have a good deal of natural ability 
in certain directions. Distinctly you have the talent for 
writing, and this you should cultivate. You are also 
poetic at times. You might make a good architect. You 
are naturally plucky and have the courage of your con- 
victions. This applies to women born on this day as 
much as to men. Women are very attractive, but not 
always as sincere as they might be, and are inclined to 
talk behind another's back the moment it is turned. Thib 
is a habit which, 'above all others, you must learn to des- 
pise and eliminate from your nature. You have a great 
interest in men and affairs and might be interested in 
politics. If a woman, you would probably be a "suffra- 
gette." Above all else it is important that you learn to 
be sincere in your friendships — this is most strongly 
marked and is very important. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 
Henry Irving and Aaron Burr. 



FEBRUARY 7. 

You are keenly interested in the social affairs of man 
and probably have a distinct interest in socialism and the 
movements of the Nihilists, Anarchists and similar ideas 
founded to establish the "brotherhood of mankind." You 
are possibly interested also in theosophy, which is a 
religion founded along these lines of interest and unity. 
You have also distinct literary ability, but this will prob- 
ably be used to further the cause which lies near to your 
heart and you will not write cheap fiction. 

You have rather a roving spirit and are not much of 
a person to stay at home evenings. You like going out 
a great deal, into "society" and dining at restaurants 
whenever possible. Yet you do not altogether like the 
conversation which you get there, and you wish, in your 
heart of hearts, that it would be more interesting and 



Astrological Birthday Book 29 

more scientific and solid. You have a good conscience, 
but it is in need of repair! Get it out, look it over, oil 
it, and set it to work and you will make a fine character 
— with the innate abilities you possess. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Charles Dickens. 



FEBRUARY 8. 

You are interested in serious things, but in rather a 
superficial way, as you dislike systematic, sustained work. 
You are fond of the club, and, if a woman, you would 
probably read many papers at such an institution. You 
have a scientific interest in children, but are not the 
character to have any yourself. You love argument 
and often talk a great deal just for the sake of ''having 
your say" and not at all because you believe in what you 
are saying. You are interested in "New Thought," 
psychics and all that pertains to the novel and mysterious 
in all branches of science. You probably have a great 
desire to try odd things — such as ascending in a balloon, 
descending in a submarine boat and so forth. You are 
quiet and reserved, clever, a trifle sarcastic and lack com- 
plete frankness with yourself and others., 

Famous Persons Born This Day 

Jules Verne and John Ruskin. 



FEBRUARY 9. 

You have a naturally good intellect, but are somewhat 
inclined to let this run to seed. You have a good sense 
of humor and are naturally witty in public. At the same 
time, you have a deeper and more serious nature than 
many give you credit for possessing. You have one great 
defect : It is that you start many things without finishing 
any of them. You must learn that whatever you begin 



30 Astrological Birthday Book 

you must finish — since all the energy you have put 
into the thing so far is wasted if you don't. You are 
in some ways impractical, and do not possess good 
judgment or sufficient foresight, though you will not 
admit this, thinking that you have a lot! You should 
marry some one of the same coloring as yourself, other , 
things being equal ; that is, if a blond, you should marry ^ 
a blond, and if you are dark you should marry a brunette. 
Otherwise there may be much dissension later on. You 
have good musical talent and should play the piano well ; 
also dance; also you have dramatic ability. In fact you 
have varied gifts, and because of this you hardly know 
which one to select, and hence do not succeed in any of 
them. You must choose one and then follow this, 
no matter where it may lead or how hard the road. In 
this way you will achieve ultimate and great success. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 

George Ade and Samuel J. Tilden. 



FEBRUARY 10. 

You are rather too gentle and timid in disposition and 
must learn not to be quite so retiring. You are very fond 
of children and will take infinite pains to entertain them. 
You have good judgment, keen wit, a sympathetic and 
kindly nature and you like to see those about you well 
and happy. You are fond of home and its comforts and 
do not care much for traveling. You are optimistic and 
always look on the bright side of things. You have a 
keen sense of honor ; are affectionate and should make a 
splendid husband, or a true and loving wife. You are 
patient and can endure suffering with remarkable forti- 
tude. There will come many rude shocks into your life, 
but you will rise triumphant over all of them by reason 
of the faith and charity within yourself. You should be 
a very loveable character. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Charles Lamb, the noted author. 



Astrological Birthday Book 31 

FEBRUARY 11. 

You are, as a rule, a very kindly, likeable person, though 
you like your own way in things and are apt to be upset 
it you don't get it. It is rather hard for you to see the 
viewpoint of another — "to put yourself in his shoes," as 
it were. There is a vein of selfishness in your makeup 
which you must learn to overcome. You have distinct 
artistic ability, and might make a success as a carver or 
sculptor if you made up your mind to do so and worked 
sufficiently hard at your chosen occupation. You are 
rather hard on others, and are quick to see their mistakes. 
You have good judgment, but are inclined to overesti- 
mate it. You are not disposed to admit that you could 
ever make any mistakes in this direction. You are rather 
affectionate, but only to those who are of use or benefit 
to yourself, and you need a little more of the "milk of 
human kindness" in your makeup. You have great 
powers for work, and a naturally powerful mind. You 
are very ingenious and original. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 

Edison and Justice Fuller. 



FEBRUARY 12. 

Born this day, you have your own life in your hands, 
more than almost any other individual. You have the 
power of making yourself what you will, and moulding 
your own destiny. Born with naturally good talents and 
abilities, it is probable that you have not had the op- 
portunity to cultivate and develop them as you should, 
and for that reason you are apt to despair, at times and 
think that you will never fulfil the high positions and the 
great objects and aims you have in mind. But it depends 
on yourself. You must have your eye open to every 
opportunity which presents itself, and be quick to grasp 
it. Do not be a dreamer, but a worker! Regard every- 
thing that occurs in your life as a stepping stone to some- 



32 Astrological Birthday Book 

thing greater. If you fall in the lesser undertaking it is 
proof positive that you were reserved for the greater! 
Push steadily ahead and success will be yours. This 
applies to women as well as men ; the fulfilment of their 
ambitions rests entirely upon their own individual efforts. 
If you follow your own instincts and make the best use 
of your splendid gifts all your worthy desires will 
ultimately be gratified. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 

Charles Darwin and Abraham Lincoln. 



FEBRUARY 13. 

You are too fond of ease and comfort, and dislike in- 
tensely having to get out and "hustle" for a living. If 
a woman, you feel that you should not have to do this; 
it is not your natural sphere and you are inclined to rebel 
against what you think is the injustice of Fate. If a man, 
you think, also, that you are unfitted to meet the calls 
of everyday business life, and you should be allowed 
free play to develop your native talents in what directions 
they seem to take you. This is a habit of mind you .must 
learn to outgrow. You must outgrow this before you 
can attain success in this world ! It is no good "kicking 
against the pricks." The sooner you buckle to and attack 
a distasteful and difficult task the sooner will the de- 
sired-for opportunity come to you. Then you can follow 
the call of your heart. You have good natural talents, 
but these must be cultivated to be effective. In short, 
you must learn to develop your will, and I would recom- 
mend to you a book by Jules Payot, entitled "The Edu- 
cation of the Will." If you once learn to overcome 
inertia in yourself, which is a natural and innate charac- 
teristic and no fault of your own, you should make 
a grand man or woman and a great success. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Talleyrand, the famous historical author. 



Astrological Birthday Book 33 

FEBRUARY 14. 

You are bright, hopeful and cheerful if born this day ; 
fond of animals, and they are fond of you. You have 
rather a legal turn of mind, and might make a good 
lawyer. A woman would also be judicial, careful and 
just in all her dealings and transactions. Your heart will 
never run away with your head, but it is always pretty 
well under control. You have your own way of doing 
things and dislike having to do them any other way. 
You are inclined to rely upon others for help and en- 
couragement, and you generally get both. It is probable 
that in your life you will get a great deal of help from 
others, but you should not depend upon this in any way, 
because one day, when you count upon this it will not be 
forthcoming. 

You should pay particular attention to your health, 
and particularly your lungs, which are none too strong. 
Be careful to have fresh air at all times ; sleep with your 
windows open all night all the year round. Try to 
cultivate a little more cheer and happiness. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Cyrus Wakefield, the noted reformer and writer. 



FEBRUARY 15. 

You have distinct musical talents, especially in the 
direction of voice culture, and should make a good singer. 
You should also make a good teacher of singing, as yott 
have the necessary talent, perseverance and other quali- 
fications. You also have interest in "things scientific/* 
and like picking up bits of odd information about all sorts 
of subjects — out-of-the-way facts which other people 
know nothing about. You are practical and ingenious, 
and, if a man, this would probably be shown in your 
mechanical and engineering ingenuity. You are active 
and energetic, nervous and temperamental, and cannot 
stick to one thing long at a time. You are interested ia 



34 Astrological Birthday Book 

all things pertaining to the occult and mysterious, and at 
times a little psychic yourself. You are inclined to be 
a little anxious over your own mental health, but this 
should not worry you. All you need is a good course 
of "body building" and all your troubles will disappear. 
Take a lot of outdoor exercise, breathe deeply; be careful 
about your diet — both as to quality and quantity — and 
abounding health will be yours! 

Famous Persons Born This Day 

Mme. Sembrich and Galileo. 



FEBRUARY 16. 

You are tender-hearted and affectionate and love 
nearly every one you meet. In women particularly this 
is to be noted. If a woman, you are compassionate, 
tender and sympathetic. You can listen to the woes 
and troubles of others for hours together, and help them 
out of difficulties. While this is a fine trait, in one sense, 
you should not cultivate this side of your nature, as it is 
strong enough already, and you must remember that too 
much sympathy is as bad as none at all. It teaches 
people to dwell unduly upon their troubles instead of 
getting up and fighting them off and conquering them in 
manly fashion. You are fond of reading, and might 
be a "bookworm" if you gave full sway to your instincts. 
You are a person of moods — easily pleased and easily 
downcast. You are naturally very affectionate, and long 
for affection and love from others. You are sympa- 
thetic, kindly and appreciative. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 
Haeckel and Li Hung Chang, 



FEBRUARY 17. 

Men and women born this day differ greatly in temper- 
ament and disposition. If a man, you are strong, deter- 
mined, aggressive, with strong will-power, and the ability 



'Astrological Birthday Book 33 

to carry through any project to the bitter end. If a 
woman, you are naturally charming, intuitive, womanly 
and loving. You are also artistic and dislike to see any- 
thing ugly or repulsive intensely. If the colors in a 
room do not suit you, you cannot bear it, and feel that 
you must have them changed. You dislike the ugly in 
( nature very much, and, on the contrary, the sublime 
I charms and fascinates you. A man born this day should 
be a good politician. He is a good "mixer" and can talk 
equally well with any sort of person he meets. (This 
is also true of women born this day.) You are fond of 
home Jife, and naturally domestic. Both men and women 
seem to be cut out for domestic life — which will doubtless 
be very happy for them throughout. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
John L. Sullivan. 



FEBRUARY 18. 

If you are born this day you have a temperament of a 
rather matter of fact order ; straightforward, frank and 
easy to understand. You know just about what you 
want and move toward your goal with slow but unerring 
steps. You can't be hurried or scared into doing any- 
thing you don't want to. Your motto is: "Slow and 
steady wins the race." You are not inclined to gamble; 
are careful in money matters, and yet not stingy or 
very close. You have distinct dramatic ability, which 
stands out in rather sharply marked contrast to the rest 
of your nature. You are fond of home and its comforts, 
and travel, especially by water, does not fascinate you. 
You take an interest in all the "solid" things of life. 
You might be interested in science, but it would be the 
exact sciences, such as physics and chemistry, and you 
are a natural sceptic and materialist. Learn to retain 
a little romance in your nature, as your danger is in get- 



36 r Astrological Birthday BooJc 

ting too matter of fact, and in losing all that is most 
charming in life. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 

Wilson Barrett and Ernest Mach. 



FEBRUARY 19. 

You are nervous, fiery, temperamental and very active 
mentally — too .much so for your own good. You are 
fond of the theatre, of music and all that is poetic and 
sublime in nature. You have many "ups and downs" in 
your life. You rise to the heights of ecstasy and sink 
to the depths of despair. You are inclined to be short 
and a little jerky in your speech. You have many friends 
who admire your undoubted talents ; on the other hand, 
there are many who think you a "crank" and rather an 
awful person to be with ! In short, you have all the 
advantages and all the defects of a genius, and this 
should be understood by those who undertake to criticise 
you and your actions. You are keen to divine the motives 
of others, and this takes the form, in you, of almost 
telepathic power. You are sensitive and feel the "atmos- 
phere" of places you enter keenly. You like a constant 
change of circumstances and environment. In short, you 
are naturally an artist, though this may not find expres- 
sion in anything but your temperament. You should try 
to cultivate evenness of mind and temper, steadiness, 
firmness of will, reserve and determination. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 
Adelina Patti and Copernicus. 



FEBRUARY 20. 

You are scrupulously careful in all your duties and in 
their fiulfilment. If you take up anything you are sure 



Astrological Birthday Book 37 

to carry it through to a successful conclusion. In this 
you are almost obstinate and often, when the case is lost 
and seen to be so by every one but yourself, you continue 
and hold on like a bulldog, refusing to let go. You have 
rather a happy nature, making light of trials and troubles 
which come to you, and in this way earning the admira- 
tion of many who come into contact with you. You are 
very much drawn to the opposite sex and will probably 
have a large number of love affairs, but none of them 
will prove serious, and, if you are a man, you may go 
through life as a bachelor and never marry. If a woman, 
the chances are much stronger that you will marry, 
though you will have many romantic episodes in your 
younger life. White is your natural color and the 
crysolite your lucky stone. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Joseph Jefferson. 



FEBRUARY 21. 

Born this day, you are an odd mixture, which it is 
hard to describe. You are flighty at times, yet you have 
a firm foundation and the light and frivolous does not 
attract you for any length of time. You are quick to 
see things, and take in their good and bad qualities, and 
this should make you a good critic. If you are a woman 
you should have exceptionally good taste in dress, and 
you have the faculty of draping and combining shades and 
colors in your dresses so well that out of a small amount 
of money, you can make a dress that looks like an 
elaborate gown. If you fall in love you are inclined to 
love to distraction, and can express your emotions with 
a wealth of richness and color and warmth that but few 
others possess. You also demand intense love from the 
other person, and no half-hearted affection will suit you. 
You need to study your own nature and try to. improve 
it at all points. Naturally fine, you should be able to 



38 Astrological Birthday Book 

make it a wonderful character with a little careful study 
and determination to weed out your own faults. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

•Cardinal Newman. 



FEBRUARY 22. 

You have a naturally self-sacrificing and generous 
nature, and you must take care that this is not abused 
and trampled upon by others, who are inclined to take 
advantage of your kindness — not understanding your 
motives. You have a firm, even, determined will, but 
this is not exhibited to outsiders, and they do not sus- 
pect how determined you are. You are not inclined to 
fall in love, but when you do it will be a "bad case" and 
you will be "head over heels" in love for the time being 
and able to think of nothing else. You are ready to do 
services and kindnesses for others, but expect others to 
do them for you in return. You should learn to take 
yourself a little more seriously; to respect yourself 
more, and your talents, and in this way others will be 
made to respect you more also. You must learn to be 
more earnest in your talk, to emphasize what you say 
more ; -to think of what you say more, and remember that 
the more feeling and emotion you place into your words, 
the more weight they carry. Think well of yourself and 
others will think well of you. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 

James Russell Lowell and George Washington. 



FEBRUARY 23. 

You should be popular, as you have the temperament 
which would naturally make you so, and if not it is be- 
cause you are not always as kind and as sincere toward 



Astrological Birthday Book 39 

others as you should be. Learn to speak not only the 
truth, but the exact and the whole truth; be frank and 
sincere, even if the truth hurts at times. You will find 
it pays in the long run. You have a great deal of natural 
wit and ability and can entertain a party well — if you 
make up your mind to do so. You will probably find 
that one born in January, June or October is the one best 
suited for you to marry. Women born this day should 
wear various artistic shades and colors, which are well 
suited to them. The sapphire and the torquoise are the 
stones which would doubtless prove the most fortunate 
for those born this week and particularly this day. You 
are industrious, but inclined to be lavish with your 
money. Learn to save it for a "rainy day," you will 
be far happier in the knowledge that you have this on 
hand in case of emergency. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Cicero. 



FEBRUARY 24. 

You have marked literary ability and should make a 
name for yourself as a writer. You are naturally humor- 
ous, and this is the form your writing might take, if you 
look to it as a living. You have also dramatic ability and 
might make a success on the stage. In amateur theatri- 
cals you always excel. You are a born entertainer and 
the life of the party wherever you are. Your popularity 
is great and easily assumed by you. You are inclined 
to talk of your own plans and affairs a little too much, 
and should never "count your chickens before they're 
hatched." You are loyal and sincere in your friendships 
and never suspect duplicity in others until too late. If 
a man, you do not understand women at all ; you think 
them as frank and open as men. You must learn that 
they are born diplomats and never accept or believe half 
that they appear to! Learn to put into operation your 



40 Astrological Birthday Book 

aspirations and dreams and you should have a life of 
brilliant success. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
John Habberton, the author of "Helen's Babies." 



FEBRUARY 25. 

Born on this day, you are probably fond of society 
and delight in going out a great deal. You are a "good 
mixer" and can feel at home in nearly any kind of 
social gathering in which you may be placed. You are 
good tempered and like to have a "good time." Ait the 
same time, you cannot be pushed too far or you are liable 
to get into a temper, and then things happen. But you 
are always sorry for this the next minute, and are not 
the sort of person who carries a grudge about under his 
hat. If a woman, you are naturally of a romantic turn 
of mind — especially in your younger days — and love the 
ideal and the aesthetic. Nothing else satisfies you. You 
want the best, or nothing at all ! You should learn to 
cultivate a little more practicality or you will be sadly 
disappointed in your passage through life. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Camille Flam marion. 



FEBRUARY 26. 

You take a deep interest in all that happens around you. 
You are intuitive and quick to grasp a situation. You 
are not communicative, but talk little and can keep a 
quiet reserve on your own affairs and on those of others, 
too. You have distinct literary ability. You are a lover 
of nature; and every summer should see you far from 
civilization, as this part of your nature needs feeding or 
replenishing just as much as any other part. The grand 



'Astrological Birthday Book 41 

and the sublime in nature haunt you. At the same time* 
you are inclined to be nervous and superstitious. You 
are naturally loving, and strong in your affections. You 
also demand a high standard of love from the other — 
the object of your affections. You are most happy in a 
quiet place — "far from the madding crowd" — and you 
should not try to change this side of your nature too 
much, as it is generally impossible to do so. 

Famous Persons Bom This Day 
Buffalo Bill, Hugo and Le Conte. 



FEBRUARY 27. 

Strong imagination is one of your most characteristic 
features if born this day. You are fond of the artistic 
and exalted and the commonplace cannot be made attrac- 
tive to you. You have distinct dramatic ability and 
should make a success on the stage. You also have 
literary ability and should compose good poetry. You 
are fond of arranging things, and in the home you must 
have certain blendings of colors to suit you — otherwise 
you cannot be happy. You are a great theorist and like 
theory more than practice. You do not like continued 
work or monotony of any kind and are consequently in- 
clined to speculate and make your living in a manner 
more to your taste, even if that living is more uncertain 
and smaller than it would otherwise be. You are very 
fond of the opposite sex, and usually they are fond of 
you. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 

Longfellow and Ellen Terry. 



FEBRUARY 28. 

Born this day, it is probable that you are a dreamer 
rather than a worker; one interested in religious and 
philosophical questions, rather than with the practical 



42 Astrological Birthday Book 

questions of the day. You are very fond of reading and 
like nothing better than to get a good book and be left 
alone until you have had a chance to finish it. You are 
quiet and reserved, and not at all the kind of person who 
insists on "holding the floor" and taking up the attention 
of everybody, when you are out. At the same time, you 
have very strong and decided opinions, and you are not 
easily moved from these. You are not at all demonstra- 
tive in your affections, yet you can love deeply ; and, under 
cover of not caring for the opposite sex, you do, never- 
theless, as you show when you find a quiet corner with 
the one! If a woman, you are playful, "kittenish" and 
very attractive on account of your vivacity. On the 
whole you are a desirable companion, lover and friend. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Ernest Renan. 



FEBRUARY 29. 

You have a magnetic, attractive personality, being pos- 
sessed of great charm and personal magnetism. You 
would make a wonderful magnetic healer, if ever you 
became interested in that line of work, and the mere 
touch of your hand would be beneficial to those in ill- 
health. You should make a fine speaker or orator and 
a fine mimic. You are fond of the water and excel in 
all water sports. You should live near the water, for if 
you did you would feel in some way comforted; it would 
fill a longing which you always had and did not know to 
what it was attributable. You have a good deal of self- 
confidence, self-assurance, and would make a natural 
leader in any movement you might undertake. You have 
a strong character, though there are weak spots in the 
armor, such as a habit of seeing the weak points in other 
people's characters. Make up your mind to see the best 
in everything and only the best, and you should develop 
a splendid personality. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Ann Lee, founder of the Shakers. 



Astrological Birthday Book 43 

MARCH 1. 

Born this day, your character is very different from 
those who have just preceded you. You are firm, de- 
termined, practical ; have a dogged, rugged nature which 
fits you for opposition and the bitter battles of life. You 
feel that you can weather through anything, no matter 
how strong the opposition may be. You are well suited 
for business life and should make a great success in this 
direction. You have executive ability and could manage 
a large corporation with skill and competence. At the 
same time, you are not so obstinate as to be blind to the 
impossible. You use tact and judgment in all you under- 
take. If a woman, you are a natural diplomat, and 
should be fitted to occupy a responsible position in a large 
firm and fit it well. Or you should share all the secret 
plans of your husband and the world would be no wiser. 
You are one of the few women who can keep a secret! 
You are strong, loyal and true in your affections, but not 
demonstrative. One can always depend upon you as a 
true friend. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

William Dean Howells. 



MARCH 2. 

Born this day you are extremely adaptable to circum- 
stances, and can fit yourself into any position which 
offers itself. You are a natural diplomat: fond of in- 
trigue, rather fond of finery and show, but you cannot 
be taken in by the imitation, said to be the real. You 
are careful, even close, in money matters; and you might 
be a little more liberal and open-handed at times. You 
can be a strong friend or a bitter enemy. You believe 
in the saying of Richelieu: "Pacify your enemy; but if 
that is impossible, crush him!" You are rather subtle, 
but kind when everything looks favorable to you. You 
have a natural love of humanity ; but generally this only 



44 'Astrological Birthday Book 

lasts as long as humanity is kind to you. You have a 
strong personality, and might make a leader of men. 
Learn to strike out the streak of cruelty in your nature. 
Women born this day must 'above all else learn to think 
well of their friends and neighbors, and listen and talk 
no scandal concerning them. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Pope Leo XIII. 



MARCH 3. 

You have an ingenious, inventive turn of mind, which 
should stand you in good stead ; and, if applied in a prac- 
tical manner, should bring you lasting financial results. 
You have a good, clear mind, and great natural abilities. 
You are fond of mechanical devices, and have always 
delighted in studying and experimenting with such ef- 
fects. You have a naturally good memory, with ability 
for detail. For this reason you should become invaluable 
in certain directions. You are restless and nervous, and 
need a certain amount of travel and exercise in order 
to offset this, and "work it off." If a woman, you are 
decidedly practical — having good common sense and the 
ability to manage on very little. You need not worry 
about your future, since you will probably become very 
wealthy in later life. 

Your love-nature is strong, and you demand much 
from others in this direction; at the same time, you are 
intense and loving. You have a strong will, ambition 
and purpose ; but are inclined to be lazy. Get over this, 
and you will make money and be successful. Use your 
original ideas ; they are valuable ! 

Famous Persons Born This Day 
Alexander Graham Bell and George M. Pullman. 



'Astrological Birthday Book 45 

MARCH 4. 

You are an idealist; fond of the good things of life, 
as well as of art, music and poetry. You are inclined to 
lack the aggressive quality which makes for, financial 
success; and lack a certain amount of self-esteem which 
you should have, since you have good qualities, and 
others should be made to appreciate them. You would 
probably succeed better if associated in business with 
some one of opposite nature to yourself — one of dogged 
and determined character. Your own nature is to act 
rather than to talk; to say little — and then suddenly 
jump, like a cat does upon a mouse! If a woman, you 
are particularly liable to fits of despondency, and have 
melancholy spells, which unfit you for anything for a 
day or two. You must learn to conquer this habit above 
all others. It is the result of selfishness pure and simple. 
It results from your thinking too much about yourself. 
Get actively interested in the lives and interests of 
others, and it will disappear like dew before the first 
rays of the morning's sun. Learn to cultivate your will 
and self-reliance; and there is no limit to what you 
cannot accomplish. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Prof. Roentgen, discoverer of the X-Rays. 



MARCH 5. 

You are one of those happy-go-lucky mortals who 
take life as you find it, tand do not think about it and its 
problems and mysteries any more than you have to. You 
are self-confidant; but this is legitimate in your case, as 
it comes from experience. Owing to your disposition, 
you are a little too inclined to make friends with every- 
body. Learn to be more self-contained and reserved in 
your friendships. If a woman, you are naturally a little 
shy in the society of men, and have not the little tricks 
and devices at your finger's ends common to your sex. 



46 Astrological Birthday Book 

A man should be careful that his sympathy does not run 
away with him ; for he may be led into a marriage which 
he would afterwards regret, simply because of his good- 
ness of heart, and genuine interest and sympathy. You 
will probably find the person most suited to you who is 
born in July, September or October. You will find May 
or June good months in which toi undertake any im- 
portant piece of work, however. If a woman, you must 
learn to be tidy and precise in details. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Roger II, King of Sicily. 



MARCH 6. 

You should have exceptional judgment, if born this 
day, and a clear vision, enabling you to see things as 
they are, and in their true perspective. You have ability 
as a writer, and especially as a poet. This applies more 
especially to the women born to-day, however ; and they 
differ quite considerably from the men. The latter are 
more practical, active and self-disciplined. Indeed, there 
is a strain of the military about the men which renders 
them objects of admiration by women. You are prob- 
ably self-reliant; and wish a good reason for everything 
you do. You have no "use" for intuition, etc. You 
demand strictly logical reasons for all you do. Women 
born today are, on the contrary, very intuitive and 
psychic. This may lead to much misunderstanding, and 
even to unhappiness, if the different natures of such 
people are not understood by the other set. One de- 
mands a reason for every act; the other feels that she 
could give it, yet cannot ! Both feel that they are right, 
if only the other one could be made to see it ! Learn to 
understand the human mind and its operations, and place 
what you learn into words ; and much of this misunder- 
standing will vanish. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 

Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Gen. Sheridan. 



Astrological Birthday Book 47 

MARCH 7. 

You have a distinct talent for music, and will be able 
to play upon one or more musical instruments. Evi- 
dently this is intended to be your career — if you wish 
to make a name in the world. At the same time, you 
have good scientific attainments, if cultivated, but these 
run to the practical and commercial side of the sciences. 
You will apply what you know to turn it to financial 
success. You are ambitious, and desire to rise above 
the ordinary level of humanity. Nothing is more re- 
pellent to you than the thought of a mediocre life. If 
you are to attain this object, you must learn how to use 
and concentrate your mind — since only in this way is 
success attained. You are of a nature which naturally 
dislikes work, and this feeling of indolence you must 
learn to conquer before all else. This is the first thing 
you must overcome. Attain good physical health ; con- 
quer the desires of the body — for good food, drink, and 
all kinds of bodily pleasures — for success lies only in 
this mastery. It comes to the man who has mastered 
Self. Only when one has mastered Self can he hope to 
master Fate! 

Famous Persons Born This Day 
E. H. Conger and Becqueral, the famous French 
chemist. 



MARCH 8. 

Strong in your beliefs and convictions, you are yet 
able to change them, if facts are adduced, sufficiently 
strong to shake you in your present convictions. You 
are rather religious — this applying more to women than 
to men — and have interest in social problems. You pre 
interested in a wide range of topics. You are somewhat 
impulsive, and speak words at times which you afte - 
wards regret. You have strong convictions, and the 
courage and consistency to stand by them. You are 
interested in all people alike — no matter what their 



48 Astrological Birthday Book 

religious or social creed may be. If a woman, you will 
probably have a large number of love affairs in your 
life, owing to your naive and sympathetic nature, w.hich 
attracts the men into whose companv vou are thrown. 
You should guard against becoming a flirt, on this ac- 
count, or you will ruin a character which is otherwise 
very charming. Live up to your ideals. Live up to the 
best in yourself and all good things will come to you. 
Work hard to make money, as you will need all you get. 
You will succeed if you keep at it! 

Famous Person Born This Day 
E. P. Roe. 



MARCH 9. 

You have an active, lively disposition, fond of romance, 
travel and adventure. When you were young, you were 
always in mischief, going off on trips and excursions, and 
creating a great deal of consternation at home because 
you could not be found. You are still very fond of 
travel, and are never happier than when moving about 
the world, visiting foreign cities and countries. You 
are apt to work too long, until exhausted, and then drop 
from overwork. Learn to cultivate and conserve your 
forces. You have a large stock of vitality; but that 
is no reason why you should abuse this "Gift of the 
Gods" and wear yourself out prematurely. You are of 
a practical, sceptical turn of mind ; quick to see an op- 
portunity, and quick to seize it. Women born this day 
should wear striking clothes, of varied colors, yet shaded 
artistically. Both men and women will doubtless have 
a large circle of friends, on account of their breezy man- 
ner and attractiveness to the opposite sex. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Americus Vespicius, discoverer of mainland of 
North America. 



'Astrological Birthday Book 49 

MARCH 10. 

If born this day, you have a strong, forceful character, 
inclined to be dogmatic at times, and determined that 
others shall see things from your viewpoint. For you, 
there is only one right way of doing anything — yours ! 
In this you are, to a certain extent, right, as you have 
good native judgment and clear vision. Learn to be a 
little more charitable in your opinions and views of 
others. You are inventive and ingenious; and have a 
taste for mechanical things of all kinds. You have a 
magnetic personality, which draws others to you; and 
are probably interested in psychic and occult studies. 
Yet you are not unduly credulous in this, however, and 
demand strong proof before you believe anything. You 
love the esthetic and dainty, and the vulgar and inhar- 
monious jar you so that you feel you cannot bear it! 
Naturally artistic, you should be able to do good work 
in painting or drawing — if you studied. You are in- 
clined to be obstinate. Overcome this ! With determina- 
tion and hard work, yours will be an unusually successful 
life. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Alexander III of Russia. 



MARCH 11. 

You. are industrious, and not many hours find you 
unemployed. You love to study humanity, and to out- 
line, in your own mind, the characters of others — guess- 
ing at the motives which prompted certain actions. You 
have great literary ability, and should be enabled to write 
splendid novels and other works of fiction, if you tried. 
You have a good sense of humor; and are keen in your 
appreciation of all that pertains to wit and satire. You 
are studious, and fond of scientific and philosophical 
studies and pastimes. You do not care much for travel, 
except occasionally, and then it is rather because you feel 



50 Astrological Birthday Book 

that you like to have visited various places, than because 
you enjoy the time spent in visiting them. You are fond 
of home, and do not like being disturbed. You are slow 
to anger; but when you have stood things for a certain 
length of time, you suddenly retaliate, and then your 
adversary finds out your metal, for the first time ! Learn 
to avoid egoism, as this is your most serious tendency; 
and a fine future should be yours — as you have great 
natural ability. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
T. G. Smollett, the novelist. 



MARCH 12. 

You have a naturally kind nature, rather clever, a well- 
stocked mind, ingenious, with a keen sense of humor. 
You are not a good business man, and you should be 
associated with some one who could market your work 
or ideas, and in that way you could make a good deal 
of money. You can do the work, but you are not a 
good person to market it; and this applies to women as 
much as to men. Other people use your brains and your 
work, and you get little credit for them. You are one of 
those individuals who would do far better if you entered 
into partnership in most of the things you undertake. 
You are always ready to see the personal side of every- 
thing. You are popular with most people you meet ; and 
you like them also. For this reason, you have a great 
many friends. You are cheery, wholesome and whole- 
souled. You are inclined to look a little too lightly on 
things, and never see the serious side of anything. Cul- 
tivate this in yourself ; and you will be the better for it. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 
Mrs. Lilly Langtry and Bishop Berkeley. 



r Astrological Birthday Booh 51 

MARCH 13. 

Men and women born this day differ considerably. 
The men are interested in science and politics, etc., and 
have a good grasp of such subjects — but also a love of the 
romantic, which is, at times, inclined to tinge their specu- 
lations and ideas. As a man, you are naturally quiet 
and reserved, and a steady worker. You can appreciate 
a situation as well as anybody. You have a natural 
talent for speaking in public, and should make an orator, 
if you determined to undertake this. You need clearly 
to formulate your ideas, and then throw yourself into 
their achievement with all the will and energy you pos- 
sess. There must be no half-hearted hesitation about it ! 
Women born this day are quite different — as before 
mentioned. If a woman, you are gifted and talented in 
the art of entertaining, and make a charming hostess ; 
but do not have much interest in scientific or religious 
questions, which appear to you suitable only for old 
"fossils," who have lived the best part of their lives! 
You are probably inclined to be slim, with dark hair 
and eyes, though there may be a tendency for you, early 
in life, to become moderately plump. You are doubtless 
very attractive to the opposite sex. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Percival Lowell. 



MARCH 14. 

You have distinct talent for music, and should be able 
to play some instrument well — particularly the piano or 
violin. You should also be enabled to compose — when 
the mood is on- you. You are subject to dreams of all 
kinds, and like to experiment in this direction. You are 
also especially sensitive to the influence of the moon, 
and if this shines on you during sleep, you are sure to 
have a nightmare. You do not feel things as keenly 
as many others do, and are not the enthusiastic sort — 



52 Astrological Birthday Booh 

the kind of person who gets worked-up over trifles. You 
are rather spoiled, and inclined to be domineering and 
tyrannical in your views. Try to place yourself in the 
other's shoes, and see through their glasses. If you did 
this, you would have more appreciation for the cares of 
others, and more sympathy and understanding. You 
are not lacking in this really — only it needs to be brought 
home to you. You need to conserve your energies, and 
expend them only for profitable work. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
King Humbert I, of Italy. 



MARCH 15. 

You are inclined to be sprightly, active and vivacious ; 
full of fun and good spirits. You are probably a great 
talker, and entertain a crowd wherever you are. You 
are not, in all probability, a deep thinker, but have a 
mind which takes an interest in a wide range of subjects. 
You have a restless, active disposition, and are ever on 
the move. You have good intuitions, and a fine active 
imagination — one that is inclined to run away with you 
at times. You are not as careful as you should be con- 
cerning your personal appearance, and in the things that 
belong to you. So long as the effect is all right, you 
do not like to bother about details. This is one of the 
defects of your temperament, which you must over- 
come. You must be careful in choosing a life partner, 
or you may be misled. You doubtless have good dra- 
matic ability, and, if a woman, have a fine figure and 
striking personal appearance. You should be enabled to 
excel in art — particularly drawing or painting; and have 
marked imitative ability. Learn to relax; cultivate a 
more studious nature; and, above all, learn to save! 

Famous Person Born This Day

Astrological Birthday Book 53 

MARCH 16. 

You have good business ability and can stand any 
amount of work placed upon your shoulders. They are 
always found broad enough to bear them. You are 
methodical and accurate, and should make an expert 
accountant or a mathematician. You might make a 
splendid engineer. If a woman, it is probable that you 
possess distinct talent for decoration — either gardens, or 
for interior house decoration. Anyone born this day 
might make a good architect. There is a streak of the 
Bohemian in you, which makes you fond of "dining and 
wining," and the society of the opposite sex. This is a 
tendency which you must not allow to have too much 
sway, however, or it may be the cause of your undoing. 
You are inclined to take things as you find them, and 
not bother about the morrow — thinking that it can take 
care of itself. Cultivate forethought, and you will find 
that life is far more profitable and pleasureable than you 
imagined it could be. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

James Madison. 



MARCH 17. 

Born this day, you have a very good eye for details, 
and are conscientious and accurate in all you do or 
undertake. Nothing escapes you ; you see and hear 
everything that goes on around you — though you may 
not appear to so do. In money matters, you are ex- 
tremely accurate and careful, and this should fit you 
for the position of bookkeeper or expert accountant 
If your tastes run to scientific and mechanical occupa- 
tions, you should be good at such callings as watch- 
making, microscope-making, etc. You have a fairly 
artistic taste ; and this will probably enable you to be- 
come a good interior decorator. This applies especially 
to women born this day — who have very good taste and 
judgment. If a woman, you have a remarkably wide 



I>4 Astrological Birthday Book 

range of interests, and take an intelligent delight in things 
which many women would find "boring" or uninterest- 
ing. You are distinctly the "intellectual" type — though 
you may be good looking also ; probably are, in fact ! 

Famous Person Born This Day 

James IV, King of Scotland. 



MARCH 18. 

Men born this day have marked political tendencies, 
and should make good statesmen and politicians. They 
would also make good orators, and are probably good 
speakers and entertainers, at all times. They are the 
hearty, jovial type, that it does everyone good to meet. 
They brace up and invigorate and "enthuze" everyone 
in their immediate environment. You cannot stand 
much opposition, however, and are inclined to be domi- 
neering, at times. You are the kind of person who "cries 
over spilt milk," but always "make the best of a bad job." 
You have a great deal of animal magnetism, and are 
attractive equally to men and women. If a man you 
like women of the same type or character as yourself — 
strong and forceful, and none of your "namby pamby" 
characters for you. If you do get led into a marriage of 
this sort, you will probably regret it, though there are 
exceptions to all rules of this order. If a woman, you 
are a leader among women, with a good mind and strong 
character. You are doubtless well formed, and have a 
good figure, and striking personal appearance.

Astrological Birthday Book 55 

MARCH 19. 

You have a firm, strong nature, which masters fate, 
rather than submits to be mastered bv it. You are. 
however, kindly, and sympathetic; quite a family man, 
and fond of children, particularly after they have grown 
up a little. You are naturally verv affectionate — and 
this applies to both men and women born this day. 
Their passional nature is very strong. It is kept well in 
control, however, by the force of their character, as a 
rule. You are fond of good things to eat and drink, 
and like all the pleasures of life; but you can also do 
without these, when you have to, and can withstand 
hardship well, in case of necessity. You are a hard 
worker by nature, and are rarely inactive. You do not 
get much rest, but are doing something or other all the 
time. You are rather matter-of-fact, and not imagina- 
tive. You are strong-willed and generally get what you 
want. Learn to hold on fast to your one ambition or 
ideal until it comes true, and it will always be realized ! 

Famous Person Born This Day 
William Jennings Bryan. 



MARCH 20. 

You should have a great deal of executive ability, 
coupled with learning and a love for science. You are 
fond of the occult and mysterious, though you do not 
like this fact to be known much in public. You will 
probably live a long life, and die at a good old age. The 
moonstone or the chrysolite are the stones you should 
wear, in preference to others. You may be rather shy 
in the presence of a large collection of strangers ; but 
this will gradually' wear off, as you grow older, into 
years of greater maturity. You may be lacking in self- 
assurance but remember that you are just as good as 
anyone else, and that any self-depreciation is self-imposed 
or self-permitted, and for that reason you can rid your- 



56 Astrological Birthday Book 

self of the idea, if you make up your mind to do so! 
Be determined! Make ud your mind that you can and 
you will — do whatever you have in mind to do ! Nothing 
in the world can withstand the human will, when once 
it is made up and set in a certain direction! Cultivate 
this side of yourself; and you should soar through life, 
making it a grand success ! 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Charles W. Eliot, President of Harvard 



MARCH 21. 

Born this day, you have marked musical ability, and 
should turn your talent into the lines of composition, as 
this is where you could excel. You also have literary 
ability, and could write well. You have a marked philo- 
sophic turn of mind, and take a delight in studying 
humanity. You have rather religious instincts, and the 
ideal and sublime appeal to you. This applies particu- 
larly to the women born this day — though the men, also, 
share this attitude of mind. Of the man born this day, 
you would probably describe him as "Noble." Of the 
woman, she would be "spirituelle." All the same, they 
are of this world, and not at all dreamers. They are 
good, solid, substantial folk, whose word may be taken 
as absolute truth on any question. The flighty man or 
woman of the world is very rare, who is born this day. 
You lack, perhaps, a certain sense of humor, and are 
inclined to take yourself too seriously. When you are 
depressed and despondent, this thought will doubtless 
comfort you — a "sense of humor will save many a try- 
ing, even tragic, situation!" 

Famous Persons Born This Day 
Bach and Jean Paul Richter.

MARCH 22. 

The artistic sense developed in those born yesterday 
is still more marked in those born this day, and will 
probably run in the lines of painting, rather than in music 
or literature. You might also make a good sculptor. You 
have a very balanced nature, being able to do a variety 
of things well. You are practical and business-like, as 
well as artistic, popular and fond of society. You are 
rather fond of family life, and will probably marry early 
and have a family. If a woman, you are inclined to be 
somewhat of a coquette, and will have a great many 
admirers, from time to time. At one time in your life, 
particularly, there will be several that you are seriously 
''contemplating," and you cannot make up your mind 
which of these to accept. It is probable that you will 
ultimately have none of them ! You are loving, kindly 
and sympathetic. But you need ambition, concentration 
and power. Determine to get them ! You can if you will. 
Make up your mind that you will! 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Sir Anthony Van Dyck, the famous painter. 



MARCH 23. 

If born this day, you have a distinct leaning towards 
things scientific, you have a fine memory and grasp of 
things in this realm. You should be so placed that you 
can spend a good part of your life in research, without 
bothering about the necessities of life. This will doubt- 
less come to you later on — though you must give up much 
for many years, before you will be placed in this enviable 
position. If a man, you are probably physically strong, 
and if you developed this side of yourself, you might 
become quite renowned as a "strong man." You should 
also have skill in athletics and outdoor games. Girls 
born this day will probably be great "tom-boys" in their 
earlier years — full of pranks of all sorts ; of life and fun. 



58 'Astrological Birthday Book 

As they grow older they get more serious ; but the mis- 
chief in them is always ready to flash forth, at the slight- 
est opportunity. Women born this day are, probably, 
great companions, and very animated and entertaining. 
Their love-nature is doubtless well developed. On the 
whole, a distinctly nice and likeable person! 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Richard A. Proctor, the famous astronomer. 



MARCH 24. 

Your character should be a good one naturally, if 
born today. You have a keen sense of justice and right, 
and can not bear to see anyone ''trampled in the dust/' 
if you can help it. You are an advocate of fair-play, and 
despise those who cannot enter into a game of chance 
or the game of life without trying to "get ahead" of their 
fellows, by fraudulent means. You have great natural 
determination and will power, and generally manage to 
get what you want, pretty well. You, are naturally adapt- 
able, and can fit yourself into any position in which you 
happen to find yourself. You should succeed in life, 
wherever you are. You are generous, open-handed, but 
not lavish. Your chief faults are that you are rather 
cramped in your viewpoint; very often you might be 
more generous, and have a natural sternness of charac- 
ter which may unfit you to realize or appreciate the 
suffering and the lack of success of others. You cannot 
see why they are weak and cannot realize success, as 
you do. So cultivate the human side of yourself a little 
more, in this particular direction. 

Famous Person Born This Day

Astrological Birthday Book 59 

MARCH 25. 

You are doubtless shrewd and practical, if born today, 
and not, as a rule, interested in the poetic or artistic things 
of life. You are practical and interested in practical 
things, but there is a queer streak of the superstitious in 
you, which makes you, at times, almost ashamed of 
yourself. Like the old lady : "You don't believe in ghosts, 
but you are afraid of them!" You can comfort yourself 
with the reflection that many persons are like this — only 
they won't admit it! Your mind is very discriminating 
and keen. If a woman, you have a great love of the 
beautiful in all its forms and branches ; and this enables 
you to exercise a great deal of taste and judgment in 
your personal appearance and the style of your clothes 
and the furnishings and arrangement of your home. You 
are naturally domesticated, and suited to home life, and 
all the solid comforts it brings. It is probable that you 
will have three severe and great disappointments in your 
life; two of chem you will overcome successfully, but 
the third will not be so fortunate, and will leave a marie 
or scar on all the rest of your after life. All the same, 
the rest of your life will he happy and contented, and 
crowned with a more than average amount of success 
and the good things of this world. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Michael Davitt, the Irish patriot. 



MARCH 26. 

Born this day, you should have a naturally fine mem- 
ory, which will stand you in good stead in all the affairs 
of life, and particularly fit you for certain callings — where 
a memory for detail is needed. You are a deep, rather 
than a superficial, nature, yet none can be more lively, 
not to say clownish, than you, when you want to be. 
Most of the time, you have the "brakes on," so to say, 
on your nature; but when these brakes are taken off* 



60 Astrological Birthday Book 

you can make things fly! You would make a good his- 
torian, as you have a love of delving into the obscure 
records of the past. You have distinct literary talent, and 
if you took to writing, you would doubtless have a clear 
and forceful style. At the same time, you are artistic, 
and somewhat musical; and this often surprises your 
friends, who never dreamed that these ideals and interests 
were in you. If a woman, your house is always in order, 
and everything is "spick and span" which is under your 
immediate control. You are also very careful about 
your personal appearance and dress, and dislike anything 
approaching the "sloppy" style. Live up to your highest 
ideals, even through the severest trials and adversities, 
and you will not regret it ! 

Famous Person Born This Day 

William Lecky, the famous author. 



MARCH 27. 

You are naturally broad-minded and strong, if born 
this day, and dislike all the little things and details of 
life, which do not suit you and are better done by another. 
You might be a good organizer, and run things on a 
large scale ; and a woman born today also has ideas on 
the same scale. You believe in making more money and 
spending more, rather than in economizing and saving 
what you have got. You are generous, sympathetic, 
and have the ability to see things from another person's 
standpoint. You have a good knowledge of art and music, 
though these tastes may be neglected in yourself. You 
are fond of outdoor sports, and all that is wholesome. 
You enjoy, also, all the good things of this life, and are 
never more happy than when entertaining others — at 
your own expense, too often ! You are a person of very 
strong affections, and crave a certain amount of reciprocal 
affection or love from the opposite sex. You are inclined 
to be morbid or melancholy, at times ; but these are only 



Astrological Birthday Book 61 

short spells. Remember that a sense of humor is one of 
the most saving of all graces; and its right exercise is 
often most helpful. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 

Louis XVIII and Brainard Lyman, the noted 
preacher. 



MARCH 28. 

Love of travel is probably one of the best distinguish- 
ing characteristics of your nature. You want to see 
the world and all there is in it for yourself; and no 
amount of description by others will satisfy you. That 
part of the globe which would most interest you, probably, 
is the mysterious Orient, with its ancient buildings its 
glitter and gorgeous splendor — since you are particularly 
attracted and drawn to all that is weird and fantastic. 
You are interested in psychics, magic, and all such curious 
and out-of-the-way pursuits and interests. At the same 
time, you do not let these interests interfere with your 
life; and, at other times, you are very sane and matter- 
of-fact. In fact, a person might know you for years, 
without even suspecting that you had such interests. In 
temperament, also, you are inclined to materialism, and 
are not naturally religious — or at least not orthodox. 
You have a natural interest in science, particularly those 
outlying fields which contain phenomena whose nature 
is as yet unsettled and unknown. If a woman, you have 
strong intuitions and emotions, are impressionable, and 
inclined to take instant likes and dislikes to people. Learn 
,to become more even in your temper, and you should have 
a well-rounded, fine character. 

Famous Person Born This Day

62 Astrological Birthday Book 

MARCH 29. 

Born this day, you have, in all probability, a good deal 
of bodily energy and staying powers — which often stand 
you in good stead through life. You should be good both 
in large things and in detail work — hence might be well 
suited for such work as that of a contractor, overseer, 
etc. You also have artistic sense, which might fit you for 
an architect's work. You should be successful in busi- 
ness, and are popular wherever you go on account of 
your frank and pleasing personality. Never hesitate to 
learn your faults from another, and profit by this advice, 
even though it may not seem the best at first. You have 
dramatic ability quite strongly marked, and the stage will 
doubtless prove a constant allurement to you for many 
years. If a woman, you are particularly sensitive to 
beautiful colors and combinations, and love harmony 
above all else. You have much patience, are agreeable 
and attractive. You learn things quickly — seem to pick 
them up without much effort. You are keenly interested 
in the condition of the people you see about you, and al- 
most too sympathetic, at times, in your feelings for them. 
You are, if a man, interested in politics, and might make 
a good speaker or orator, if you followed this bent in 
yourself. You need to practice concentration of mind 
and purpose ; and if you do, yours should be a great and 
a useful life. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 
Edward Bellamy and John Tyler. 



MARCH 30. 

You are a strong, original character, living your own 
life, thinking your own thoughts — or, if not, you ought 
at once to begin to do so, as you will never make a com- 
plete success of anything until you do so, and break away 
from the cramping and restraining influences which ham- 
per and bind you. You have great natural capabilities 



Astrological Birthday Book G3 

and resources, which only need culivation. You may be 
regarded as more or less of a "crank" by those who know 
you, but this is only because you think of things different- 
ly, and does not at all indicate that you are wrong. As a 
matter of fact, you are generally the one who is right!' 
If a woman, you will doubtless be very popular — both 1 
among women and among men. You have natural taste, 
and would prove successful as a dressmaker or designer,, 
as you have a great deal of resource and native talent. 
You are inclined to love money a little too much, and! 
most learn the bitter lesson, some time in life, that money* 
does not always bring with it the happiness it is supposed 
to bring. You have some faults — no one knows what 
they are better than yourself — and these you must reso- 
lutely eradicate and determine to get rid of. Live up to 
your ideals — though all the world be against you — and 
things will come out for the best in the long run. Be sure 
of this ! Never be discouraged or downhearted. Yours 
is the nature which will win success in the long run. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 
John Fiske and Don Carlos. 



MARCH 31. 

Born this day, you have great natural talents, and 
infinite ability to take pains. You are good at detail work, 
though also capable of undertaking big things. You 
have marked talent both in artistic and musical directions ; 
also have a philosophic and reflective mind. At times r 
these "moods" get the better of you, and you become 
very despondent. But you always recover from these 
"fits," and are again buoyed-up with slight things, which 
encourage you. You are not of the practical nature, and 
are probably of the sensitive, refined order rather than 
the heavy and pugnacious. You should have a good com- 
plexion, if a woman — one clear from blemishes of all 
kinds. Also, you are fond of gay colors, and love life 
in all its forms. Your greatest fault, in all probability, 



64 Astrological Birthday Book 

is that you do not think of yourself and your life 
seriously enough. You can think of abstract problems 
all night — but when it comes to applying it yourself, you 
cannot do it! Learri to do this, and you should make 
a great success of your life. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 
Haydn, John La Farge and Descartes. 



APRIL 1. 

Born this day, you have great practical application, and 
a stern determination to carry through anything you 
undertake. You have naturallly great staying powers, 
and a good memory, and never seem to get tired or ex- 
hausted. This applies more particularly to the men than 
to the women born this day — as the latter have not any 
particular energy, except, perhaps, in their emotional 
nature. Women born this day probably have a high 
color, and are gracious and well liked. The men are ex- 
tremely practical, executive and have great resources 
within themselves. They are never overcome by difficul- 
ties, which seem only to spur them on to greater efforts 
You should make a good critic, as you generally know 
just where to put your finger on the weak spot. In fact, 
this trait is a little too developed in you, and you must 
learn to restrain it. Learn that ari optimist has much 
more fun out of life than the pessimist; and that the 
perpetual "grouch" is the man who is always unhappy. 
It is a good thing to be methodical, but this trait can be 
overcome too, and we don't want to live our lives like 
clockwork. Learn to be a little more spontaneous and 
frank, and it would be better for all concerned. All the 
same, you have a fine, strong character, and one that 
many people envy. You are destined to accomplish great 
things before you die, if only you live up to your highest 
aims and ambitions. 

Famous Person Born This Day

APRIL 2. 

You doubtless have considerable literary ability, and a 
keen perception of all that passes around you. You are 
a good judge and a good analyzer of character, and can 
"see through" a person about as quickly as anyone you 
know. You are at times witty and caustic, and even go 
too far in this direction and say things which are not 
quite liked. Remember that human skins are not as 
tough as those of the rhinocerous. You have great dra- 
matic ability — and this applies also to the women born 
this day — perhaps particularly to them. You are fond of 
reading and study, and grasp every opportunity that is 
presented to read ; you simply devour books. You are 
logical and thoughtful — though inclined to be a dreamer, 
at times. You are fond of the psychic and all weird 
things, and like trying experiments and attending sittings 
and seances where such things are to be seen. You must 
be careful that these interests do not run away with you 
— as your temperament is not the one to attend such 
things without detriment. Be warned, therefore, in 
time and beware! 

Famous Persons Born This Day 
Emile Zola and Joseph Jefferson. 



APRIL 3. 

You have a naturally kind and sympathetic disposition, 
and give yourself rather too freely to others, who often 
impose upon you in return, and do not fully appreciate 
what you do, or the sacrifices you are making for them. 
You are naturally enthusiastic and full of hopes, which 
are often dashed ; but your buoyant nature helps you 
through all difficulties, and you come through with flying 
colors. You are a good and true friend. You are highly 
nervous in disposition, and, for that reason, you must 
take more rest than you do, and above all avoid worry. 
You should avoid too highly imaginative literature, which 



66 Astrological Birthday Book 

is not good for your nature. You have artistic talent, 
but are independent in this direction, and never follow 
rules' and regulations simply because they are accepted 
and universal You are probably fond of mauve and pur- 
ple, as colors ; but would also look well in deep orange or 
white. As a man, you have distinct literary ability, and 
could make a good writer, if you took this up. You also 
have dramatic and oratorical ability. You are extremely 
critical, and have a fair, clear mind. Be more careful 
of your diet, as you are inclined to neglect this ! 

Famous Persons Born This Day 
E. E. Hale and Washington Irving. 



APRIL 4. 

You have an erratic, impulsive nature ; if a woman, you 
cannot stand restraint or curbing in any form. You are 
very independent, and have a temper of your own, too, 
which "lets go" occasionally;, it is, in fact not yet under 
sufficient control. You would make a good milliner or 
dressmaker, if a woman, as you have decided artistic 
taste. If a man, you are exact and methodical, and have 
a good head for figures and detail. This would naturally 
fit you for such occupations as expert accountant or book- 
keeper. You are fond of going out into society a great 
deal, but you like to spend your evenings in some really 
interesting and entertaining manner ; if possible, and not 
fritter them away with details and "small talk.'' You are 
not as fond of home as you might be, and will probably 
find interests outside, which will attract you a great 
deal — such as clubs, etc. You should not marry too 
young, and then some one born in November or December 
would be most suited to your temperament. Green, in 
all shades, would suit you, and you would look well in 
them. While you are not lazy, you do not like work of 
the plodding kind, and often grow impatient at the slow 
manner in which things move. Once in your life a great 



Astrological Birthday Book 67 

opportunity will be offered you ; if you let this slip, your 
chances will be gone; so do not hesitate through fear, 
but catch it quickly, before it goes ! Remember the words 
of Shakespeare. 

"There is a tide in the affairs of men which, taken at 
the flood, leads on to fortune," etc. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Thaddeus B. Stevens, the noted statesman. 



APRIL 5. 

Born this day, you have a determined will, and if you 
conceive that you are in the right will fight to maintain 
your rights to the very end. While this is a good charac- 
teristic, you must be careful to distinguish between ob- 
stinacy and determination. You are impulsive and quick 
to act. You also take offense rather too quickly — often at 
things which the speaker did not at all intend. You are 
extremely critical, and it takes the best to please you. 
You would make a good newspaper reporter — and this 
applies to men and women equally who are born on this 
date. You have a natural "nose for news," as is were, 
and see everything that goes on around you — though you 
often pretend that you do not! You might cultivate a 
little more tact, which is lacking in your nature. You 
are too blunt and outspoken. You have strong intuitions, 
which are usually right, and you should learn to depend 
upon and follow these more. You should be interested in 
scientific matters, particularly those of a practical nature, 
which may be applied, .such as electricity, medicine, surg- 
ery chemistry, etc. You have good business ability and 
good judgment. Women born this day should learn that 
tenderness appeals to men more than anything else, and 
that many a point may be carried in this manner which 
would be gained in no other way ! 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Lord Lister. 



68 Astrological Birthday Book 

APRIL 6. 

You have distinctly artistic ability, and should make a 
name for yourself with a pencil, pen or brush — if you 
gave serious thought in this direction. You have dra- 
matic ability strongly marked, and the stage draws you 
very strongly, at times. You have the "artistic tempera- 
ment," par excellence — with all its defects and all its 
advantages! You are quick and active; fond of vivid 
coloring — except in clothes which you like artistically 
draped and shaded. You are impulsive, a hard worker 
at times, but this is spasmodic, and at other times you like 
to "laze" all day, and do nothing. You are a great talker, 
and full of interest and entertaining stories, but you must 
learn that the intellect must be cultivated and controlled 
by a system of rigorous exercises, if you wish to succeed, 
and one cannot follow one's instincts and desires all 
through life, and make it a success. Hard work is 
necessary — even for the artist, who wishes to succeed. 
You have a very ardent nature, which you must learn to 
keep in control, or it will be liable to lead you into danger ! 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Raphael, the painter. 



APRIL 7. 

You have a great deal of initiative and character; also 
a determination to succeed and get on in life. You are 
pushing and energetic, and have no "use" for those per- 
sons who are content to sit back and let others get ahead 
of them. Men and women alike born this day are of 
much the same temperament. They are fiery and ener- 
getic and desire money and what money brings. They 
are interested in public affairs; yet are retiring and ex- 
clusive at times. They have literary tastes, and when they 
get alone, in the country, they may be carried away by 
the still loneliness and beauty of the scene and become 
quite poetical. As soon as the spell is removed, however, 
and they return to civilization, they at once become prac- 



Astrological Birthday Book 69 

tical and business-like again. You are rather stubborn 
and must have your own way about most things. You 
want to be the leader and cannot endure to be a follower. 
You take strong likes and dislikes, and these are usually 
formed suddenly and at first sight. Learn that there are 
two sides to every quarrel, and every question ; and learn 
to weigh the evidence before — passing a judgment. Per- 
sons of either sex born this day are very emotional and 
passionate, and most attractive to the opposite sex. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 
Wordsworth and Channing. 



APRIL 8. 

Born this day, you have good judgment and strong 
intuitions. In these you are almost invariably right. You 
are rather too apt to form "snap judgments" about things 
and people; and afterwards act as if this judgment had 
been founded on long experience. You have a long head ; 
but are a little too sure of your own estimate of things. 
You are not exactly vain ; but assume at times a superior 
air which is not altogether warranted. Learn to be more 
spontaneous, wholesome and democratic. You are at 
times inclined to be caustic and cynical — a habit from 
which you must cure yourself. If a woman you have 
a practical nature, which is undeveloped, and most people 
would not believe that you possessed it, in all probability. 
You are full of fun and vivacious by nature, though much 
of this may have been crushed out of you by adverse 
circumstances. You are hot-headed and somewhat com- 
bative; constant in your faith and love affairs, and 
jealous to a degree. You blow hot and cold alternately; 
and at such times no one knows just what to think of 
you — not even yourself ! You should wear green or gray 
and avoid red and kindred shades, which are not advis- 
able for you to wear. 

Famous Person Born This Day

APRIL 9. 

"You are quick tempered, fiery and impetuous in nature. 
"You always desire to lead rather than to follow. You 
have a natural interest in science and philosophy; but 
you desire to excel in whatever engages you attention. 
You are fearless and ambitious, and not easily dis- 
couraged. You are naturally kind, and are not the type 
of person who would hold a grudge against another for 
any length of time. You have a great deal of vitality 
and a naturally strong constitution, which you are at times 
inclined to abuse. You have a strong will, and are not 
•easily led by others. Women born this day are impetuous 
and strong in their likes, dislikes and emotions. The 
ruby and the sardonyx are the stones which you should 
wear, being most suited for you. You are always ex- 
ceptionally attractive to the opposite sex ; and when you 
are in their presence, they sometimes feel that they can 
hardly restrain themselves from clasping you in their 
arms — just to hold you there. You are quick and im- 
perious ; and if you engage in any occupation or vocation, 
it should be one necessitating these characteristics. You 
have great natural power and execution, and should excel 
in modeling, engraving, and the kindred arts. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

King Leopold II of Belgium. 



APRIL 10. 

You have great natural powers, which may be diverted 
either in the direction of good or evil. In either case, you 
•will go to the extreme limit, and be famous (or infamous) 
according to whether you choose the one path or the 
other. You have great natural sympathy and interest in 
the affairs and troubles of others. This is perhaps too 
predominant in your nature, and you are at times imposed 
upon by those who work on your sympathy. You have 
a great deal of energy, but you also need artificial excite- 



Astrological Birthday Book 71 

ment to bring out the best that is in you. For this rea- 
son, you like big cities, as the rush and excitement seems 
to suit you. You are a born debater, and would make a 
a very good public speaker. Your religious interests are 
marked, but you do not give them very free play. At 
the same time you are very practical. You are tenacious 
in your beliefs, and wide in your interests. You have 
great independence of thought — also action, but this is 
not so clearly marked as your independence of thought. 
If a woman, you are extremely musical, and fond of all 
sorts of music, particularly voice, at which you should 
excel. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

General Booth. 



APRIL 11. 

You are popular and make friends easily. You are 
loyal and true in your friendships, and stick to a friend, 
once made, through all his adversities and trials. You 
are very sure of your own judgment, and inclined to 
defend it at all costs — even after you have been shown to 
be wrong. You are intuitive, and get quickly at the 
thoughts and motives of others. You are very exacting 
in love affairs, and inclined to make much of slights 
which are in themselves very small. You are changeable, 
even fickle; you love fine cloches and jewelry of every 
description. You think almost too much of clothes and 
personal appearance, and women born this day possess a 
positive genius for spending money. You are impetuous, 
and often do things which you afterwards regret. You 
are very intense in all that you do, and wear yourself 
away by your feelings, which play havoc with your nerv- 
ous system. You are a great talker, and inclined to say 
too much. Learn to say less, and the value of the pro- 
verb: "Speech is Silver; Silence is Golden." You must 
learn to "find yourself" early in life ; for if not you will 



72 Astrological Birthday Book 

go through life frittering away your talents, and doing no 
good thereby. Be cautious in all your love affairs — of 
which there will be many — as you run great danger of 
being deceived, owing to your impetuous nature. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 
Edward Everett. 



APRIL 12. 

You are fond of home, and all the comforts which 
that word means. At the same time, you are fond of 
society, and go out a great deal — or would like to. You 
should marry only after long acquaintance, since it would 
be unwise for you to trust your impressions in matters 
of this kind. You have not a great deal of patience, 
which is a characteristic you should cultivate. You 
are reckless with your health, and should be more regular 
in your habits, and cultivate simplicity in your diet. 
The diamond and amethyst are the stones which you 
should wear — both men and women. ^ The probability 
is that you are rather thin, with a long neck and pointed 
chin. You should build up your body, and add flesh 
to it by means of suitable diet and exercise^ A woman 
born this day would look best, in all probability, in 
tailor-made suits, and fluffs and frills would not be at 
all suited to her. Learn to cultivate the cheerful side 
of yourself. Develop your mind more! 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Henry Clay, the famous statesman. 



APRIL 13. 

You have distinct literary and artistic talent, which 
should be given fuller sway. The probability is that 
you possess considerable genius in this line, which is not 



'Astrological Birthday Book 73 

recognized, and you suffer in consequence. You are 
naturally extravagant, and can never save a penny. You 
should learn wisdom in this respect. Until you have 
learned the lesson of restraint, more will never be given 
you. Learn the truth of the words : "To him that hath 
shall be given ; and from him that hath not shall be taken 
even that which he hath." There is a great truth here. 
There are currents of success or non-success; and you 
must learn to strike the current, and swim with it. If 
a man, you would make a good politician, as you are a 
natural speaker; and are cunning enough to see which 
way the cat jumps. If a woman, you will have an ex- 
traordinary number of "affairs," none of which will 
influence you greatly, as you do not feel them enough. 
At times, you are inclined to become melancholy; at 
which times you should read a little "New Thought" 
literature, and cheer yourself up again. It is usually 
unwise for you to force matters, and law suits will not 
turn out favorably for you. Try to settle them out of 
court, if possible. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

James Harper, the publisher. 



APRIL 14. 

Born this day, you have a certain perseverance and 
determination which carries you through most of the 
things you undertake successfully. You never know 
when you are beaten; and this very quality often makes 
you successful where you would otherwise fail. At the 
same time, you must not forget that this very trait makes 
you often pig-headed and blind to a lost cause. You 
must learn to discriminate between these two conditions. 
You are straightforward and sincere, and very earnest 
in all that you do. Naturally quiet, you are perhaps too 
retiring, and inclined to sit in a corner instead of coming 
out into the light, and taking your share of the festivities 



74 Astrological Birthday Book 

with the others. This is a characteristic which you will 
doubtless outgrow with advancing years, but you should 
strive to conquer it just the same. You must never forget 
that all success depends upon the use you make of the 
forces within yourself, which you should aim to under- 
stand and cultivate. You are too extreme in many ways 
and should learn the value of balance and restraint. 
Women born this day are naturally shy and modest, 
which is generally attractive to men, who dislike, as a 
rule, an excess of masculine traits in a woman. Exert 
your own winning attractiveness and you should attain 
anything you desire. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

General A. R. Chaffee. 



APRIL 15. 

Your character 1 is a very mixed one, hard to delineate 
for that reason. You are eminently practical and 
material, in many things, yet have a distinct interest in 
the spiritual and in psychic things on the other hand. 
Your interest in such questions is more intellectual than 
emotional, however, and you demand proof for all that 
you accept. You are a good judge of human nature and 
a reader of character. You are musical, artistic, and 
have a natural gift for speaking in public. You should 
make a good orator, if a man ; and if a woman the stage 
will naturally attract you, and you might make quite a 
success in the role of an emotional actress. You are 
clever and intellectual, and take a serious interest in 
many things. You are still more interested in people, 
however, and no matter how wrapped up you may be in 
the book you are reading, you are always willing to put 
it to one side when anyone exceptionally interesting 
comes around. You are practical, and have good execu- 
tive power. You demand a good deal of love from 
others, but are willing to give a great deal in return. 



Astrological Birthday Book 75 

You are fond of society, and all that goes with it; at 
the same time, you are a great home body and like settled 
comfort. In fact, you are a many-sided character ; with 
great talent for many things, which should be developed 
fully and freely. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 
John Motley and Cardinal Vaughan. 



APRIL 16. 

You have a naturally strong character, which is not at 
all dependent, but "sufficient unto itself." More espe- 
cially is this true of men than of women born this day. 
You are a great believer in Justice, but rather in the light 
of considering it inevitable Fate. You have a restless, 
roving disposition, which prompts you to push out into 
the world, and take what comes. You are especially 
fond of the sea, and would doubtless make a good sailor. 
You have a strong sense of humor, and a retentive 
memory. You should beware of forming habits, and 
particularly physical habits, such as drinking intoxicating 
liquors, since you form them very easily, and when once 
formed you experience a great difficulty in breaking 
away from them. You are sympathetic, yet at the same 
time a little of the stoic. You are generous and open- 
handed. You have good taste, and would excel in 
decorating or in making a place beautiful. You are 
extremely affectionate, and demand much from others. 
By nature you are very jealous, especially where the 
affections of another are concerned in whom you happen 
to be especially interested. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Sir John Franklin, the famous navigator. 



APRIL 17. 



You have a very restless, busy mind, which demands 
something to interest it all the time. You are slightly 



76 Astrological Birthday Book 

eccentric, and this characteristic is the cause of many 
persons misunderstanding you. You are a moody per- 
son, with ups and downs which make yourself and every- 
one around you unhappy when they are given full play. 
You have a keen interest in all things scientific, and 
a constant desire for more knowledge. You are a delver 
into whatever comes your way, and you have a great 
interest in all psychic and mysterious things. You are 
fond of music, and would make a good performer, if 
you studied faithfully. You should have a naturally 
good singing voice, which needs cultivation. You are a 
good talker, and can tell things clearly and tersely. For 
this reason, you ought to make a good teacher or lec- 
turer. If a woman, you are exceptionally affectionate, 
and fond of home life and all that pertains to a home, 
You are fond of children, and should marry early and 
have a family of your own to look after. In this you 
would be happy. If you live in a large city, however, 
this might be modified, and in that case it might be 
better for you not to marry until later on in life. You 
have good judgment, a good mind, and are on the whole 
a very lovable person. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
J. Pierpont Morgan. 



APRIL 18. 

You are artistic and musical, if born this day, and 
exceedingly fond of the opera and all that pertains to 
the stage. You have a natural gift for acting, and if a 
man you are probably a good public speaker. You are 
rather fickle in your affections, and should think a long 
time before you make up your mind to marry. If you 
marry too young, and rush in "where angels fear to 
tread," you will have ample time to repent at leisure. 
You should prove successful in business, and should 
trust your instincts in your relationships and dealings 



Astrological Birthday Book 77 

with people. You should cultivate exactness and pre- 
cision, as you are inclined to be rather untidy in your 
affairs. Learn to grasp opportunities when they come, as 
they very often do not come a second time. You should 
be good at outdoor sports and exercises of all kinds, 
particularly in swimming. The probability is that you 
are of medium height, with light hair and blue eyes. 
You are fond of animals. The ruby and the sardonyx 
are the stones for you to wear. Cultivate your mind 
more; you will need it later on in life. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Charles Schwab. 



APRIL 19. 

Born this day, you are naturally tasteful and dainty, 
and if a woman would make a very good milliner or 
dressmaker or designer. You are fond of good clothes 
and would spend everything you had on fine raiment. 
In other ways, you are careful in money matters, and 
would manage well. You are clever, but take too great 
a pride in your caustic ability to make people feel small. 
This side of yourself you should not cultivate except in 
public speaking, at which you would excel. If a man, 
you would make a very good lawyer; you should be cut 
out for that. Public life fascinates you, and you are 
eminently suited to it. You have a strong will power, 
and logic is your long suit. You are contemplative, and 
fond of philosophical and metaphysical considerations. 
Your mind often outruns your body, and tends to wear it 
out. You must be careful of this, and see to it that your 
physical health is maintained at a " high standard, by 
means of physical exercise. You are fond of odd things, 1 
the weird and the strange. You are rather too retiring 
a disposition for your own good, and should learn to 
come to the front more. You have a distinct talent for 
literary work, at which you should excel. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 

Fechner and John Uri Lloyd, the chemist. 



78 Astrological Birthday Book 

APRIL 20. 

You have great tact and patience; women born this 
day would make very good nurses, and attendants. You 
have a kind, quiet disposition and you need to cultivate 
more force and power to even-up matters and place 
yourself on the plane where you rightly belong. You 
are very fond of travel, and one of your ambitions is to 
see every part of the world — known and unknown. This 
same trait of mind leads you into a study of the occult, 
in which you are greatly interested. You yourself should 
possess psychic powers, and are probably a trifle 
mediumistic. You need a wise, guiding hand over your 
life, in which event you could make it a great success, 
as you have great ability and native talent. If a woman, 
you should marry young, as you crave the love and 
affection of another, and you would amply repay it. 
You are easily excitable, emotional and amorous. At 
the same time, you have a naturally esthetic side of 
yourself, which leads you to the life of the recluse. 
You like independence above all else, and cannot bear 
anyone else to pry into your affairs. You should live 
alone, as -any attempt to share a room or apartment with 
another will probably lead to discontent and disaster. 
Keep guard of your health; cultivate cheer and a sense 
of the humorous aspect of many situations, and a life 
of happiness and profit will be yours. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Cardinal Farley. 



APRIL 21. 

Born this day, you have a straightforward, loving 
nature, with great clarity of judgment and keen percep- 
tion of the Truth. You have a great love of justice, and 
cannot bear to see wrong done to anyone, at any time. 
You are fond of animals, and they are always fond of 
you. You are a great reader, a student, and naturally 



Astrological Birthday Book 79 

serious-minded. Outwardly, you are full of fun and 
high spirits ; inwardly you are inclined to be melancholy. 
You are fond of good music, and like the best of every- 
thing, or nothing. Nothing second rate will please you. 
At the same time, if a woman, you have a weakness for 
cheap jewelry, and have a really barbarous taste for 
beads. If a man, you are strong willed, and of rather 
a military bearing. You rarely smile, but when you do, 
it is like sunlight after a storm. You are reserved and 
quiet ; but when you do say anything it is worth listening 
to. Clear vision and insight characterize people born this 
day. You are somewhat religious in temperament; yet 
fond of the things of this life, too. You are very 
sociable; generous and sympathetic. You have an 
especial horror for the whole insect world, and cannot 
make out why such a state of things should be allowed 
to exist as their continued existence. You have a strong 
spirit and strong will. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Charlotte Bronte. 



APRIL 22. 

You have distinct dramatic talent, and the stage has 
always had a secret lure for you. You should make a 
great success of life, and will probably travel much and 
come in for a great deal of money before you die. You 
are not extravagant in your tastes, but at the same time 
you never throw any money away. You have many ups 
and downs in life; but can adapt yourself to any cir- 
cumstances, and can either go up or down according to 
circumstances. You are fearless in all that you do and 
say, and so long as you feel you are in the right, it does 
not matter to you what others may think of your actions 
and manner of life. You are strong in your likes and 
dislikes, and quite a fighter at times. Yet you can be 
easily led into doing what you do not want, which you 



80 Astrological Birthday Book 

afterwards regret. If a woman, you would probably 
look your best in very light greys; and plenty of frills 
and furbelows. You are witty, sarcastic on occasion, 
lively and popular. You are strong in your affections. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Ada Rehan. 



APRIL 23. 

You have remarkable latent ability which needs only 
to be cultivated to make you famous — one of the great 
men or women of your day. You have literary and 
oratorical ability, and a keen sense of humor. You are 
a great student of human nature, and like mingling with 
and studying people of all kinds and stations. You have 
strong socialistic tendencies and interests. You are fond 
of the good things of this life; will travel much and 
see a great deal of life and the world. You will doubt- 
less be very fortunate in all your financial transactions — 
though you will not make much real money until the 
second half of your life. In love affairs you will come 
out ultimately successful — after you have experienced 
one or two serious set-backs which seem* to upset you 
completely for the time being. Life will seem a black 
waste for some weeks ; but it will afterwards turn out 
to be a blessing in disguise. You are rather blunt, and 
have not quite enough tact for your own good. Cultivate 
a little more diplomacy. You have great natural power, 
and need only to cultivate diligence to make this felt. 
A long and very successful life should be yours. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 

Shakespeare and Chauncey M. Depew. 



APRIL 24. 

You are a trifle reckless in your undertakings. You 
trust to the best and go ahead. You are inquisitive and 
fond of trying everything new as it comes out and ex- 



Astrological Birthday Book 81 

perimenting in all sorts of ways with new inventions. 
You are original and have high ideals. You have great 
love for children — though this naturally applies to women 
born this day rather than to men. You have a magnetic 
personality, and can hold a crowd of people anywhere. 
You take violent likes and dislikes to people, for no 
apparent cause ; but these instinctive feelings are almost 
always justified. If a woman, you are very fond of home, 
and would make an ideal housewife. You are inclined 
to dream and build air-castles rather than to act, and 
put into practical operation your various plans. You 
will never succeed so long as you do not break yourself 
of this habit. As soon as a thought strikes you, you 
must learn to make up your mind at once, and act upon 
it. You are too apt to criticise others, instead of remedy- 
ing the defects in your own character. You are capable 
and like detail work. You are impulsive in love affairs, 
and must be very careful that your temperamental nature 
does not lead you into trouble. You like to do things 
your own way, and do not like taking advice from others. 
Use your will more, and success should be yours. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Santos Dumoxt, the noted aviator. 



APRIL 25. 

You are naturally very cautious in temperament, and 
rather inclined to be a miser in money matters. Learn 
to open your hand a little more fully, and be more natural 
and spontaneous in your dealings with others. You are 
a hard, dry nature which needs a little softening-up. 
If a woman, you are meek and retiring, having great 
simplicity in dress and strong religious convictions. At 
the same time, you are not so simple as you look, and 
underneath that calm and serene exterior slumber fires 
which few guess — even yourself. You are dogmatic in 
your belief and your statements. You are very con- 



82 Astrological Birthday Book 

scientious, and should have good business ability. You 
will doubtless live to a very old age, but yours is a life 
which will run on the even tenor of its way, with no very 
alarming catastrophies or ripples to ruffle the surface 
of the water. If a woman, you would probably look well 
in dark red, but your natural quiet taste would prevent 
you from wearing that color. Green and brown are 
also good colors for you to wear. Learn to be a little I 
more tolerant of the views of others, for as a rule you 
are not. You are inclined to be delicate, and should pay 
particular attention to outdoor sports of all kinds, par- 
ticularly those which develop a greater lung power. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Oliver Cromwell. 



APRIL 26. 

You have a strong will and active intelligence, also a 
great deal of tact and diplomacy. You are very fond of 
music, particularly instrumental. Works of art fascinate 
you ; you should be able to paint a little yourself. As a 
man you have a fine business head, and power of organi- 
zation. You are fond of money and the power which 
money brings. A diamond or a ruby would be a good 
stone for you to wear. You have a strong inclination 
for politics, and should make a good public speaker. You 
also have strong scientific interests, particularly chem- 
istry, which attracts you especially. You are more or less 
literary, but this side of your self gets pushed into the 
background by the practical interests of your life, which 
occupy the first place. You have a great deal of poise 
and self-possession, and can master yourself under all 
circumstances. The probability is that you will marry at 
least twice ; and both of these marriages will be happy 
ones. If you determine to live up to the best that is in 
you, yours should be a very successful life. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Hon Bent. F. Tracy, politician. 



'Astrological Birthday Book 83 

APRIL 27. 

You are naturally very neat and tidy, and discord and 
untidiness grate upon you most unpleasantly. You are 
careful about money matters, and apt to save something 
for a "rainy day." One of your nature should marry 
young; but do not marry one who is at all inclined to 
be pessimistic or downhearted or the result will be dis- 
* asterous. Select for a partner in life one who is happy 
' and cheerful. You are inclined to brood, and become 
self -centered and critical. Overcome this and in its 
place cultivate greater frankness and a sense of humor. 
You are fond of travel, and will probably see a good 
deal of the world before you die. You are apparently 
not attracted to the opposite sex, but underneath you 
have very strong passions, which are at times hard to 
keep under control. If a woman, you will doubtless dis- 
play much taste in your own dress; in the blending of 
colors and the arrangement of your hats and gowns. 
You are probably fertile in imagination ; fond of read- 
ing, and romantic. The beautiful in nature appeals to 
you. If a man, you are strong and direct in your man- 
ner ; scientific in your tastes, which leads you to analyze 
everything, even if it hurts others at times, by your 
almost brutal frankness. You are literary, and should 
be able to write well, if you tried to do so systematically 
for some time. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 

Herbert Spencer and U. S. Grant. 



APRIL 28. 

You have a strong character, rather dogma'tic and 
set in its ways, but usually right. You like to be well 
thought of, and will sacrifice much to attain this end. 
You are very interested in things psychic, yet, oddly 
enough, strongly inclined to materialism at the same 
time. Sometimes the one side of your character pre- 



84 Astrological Birthday Book 

dominates; sometimes the other. You should learn to 
trust your intuitions and your own judgment; and not be 
swayed by the opinions of others. Love affairs occupy 
a large part of your thoughts; indeed you often dream 
of such matters, and weave all kinds of romances in 
which you are the hero or heroine. You have distinct 
dramatic talent; and are in many ways a natural Bo- 
hemian. You like lots of fur ti. ' ' xitement, an 1 -re 
inclined to indulge in it, with no though, of the morrow. 
You must experience several hard knocks in life before 
you arrive at your true goal ; and in order to bring out 
the best that is in you. You are fond of the opposite sex, 
but as a whole more than of any one individually. But 
you will form one or two strong attachments all the 
same. In money matters you will be only moderately 
successful, unless fortune happens to play into your 
hand, in which case a good stroke of luck will doubtless 
be yours. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

James Monroe. 



APRIL 29. 

You are somewhat proud and imperious ; strong willed 
and hold yourself aloof from the crowd. You have a 
good memory, are observant and can handle a difficult 
situation with anybody. You are very fond of your food, 
and would travel a long way to get a new dish, which 
promises to be something out of the ordinary. You like 
a good glass of wine, too — a liking you must be very 
careful of, as it will be the cause of your downfall, if 
you are not careful. You appreciate the beautiful in 
life, and have thought on various occasions of trying 
your hand as an artist. You have a keen interest in the 
occult; and are probably more or less deep in psychic 
studies and investigations. You are rather romantic in 
temperament, and would rather talk to one person, off 
in a corner, than have a crowd round you, and talk to 



Astrological Birthday Book 85 

half a dozen at once. At the same time, public life at- 
tracts you. Your powers of logic and reasoning should 
be well developed; and you have keen insight, strong 
impulses and high ideals. You have a great eye for 
beauty, and very little in this direction escapes you. 
Outwardly and inwardly you are two very different 
persons. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Alexander II, of Russia. 



APRIL 30. 

You are serious minded, contemplative, critical. You 
have a great love of science and Nature, which typifies a 
wonderful manifestation to you. You have great staying 
power, and can stand a good deal of knocking about. 
You are good at figures, and ought to make a good 
mathematician. You are excitable, but you do not lose 
your head under trying circumstances or in cases of 
danger. Then you are more wideawake and alert in 
mind than at any other time. You believe that the 
tortoise will always beat the hare in a race, as you do 
not believe much in airy flights of the imagination. You 
are rather the solid type, who succeeds through sheer 
determination and staying power. You believe in mar- 
riage and the ties which home brings. You should 
marry fairly young, though you should grow to years of 
discretion and not accept the first offer of marriage 
which comes your way. You will be comfortably off in 
later life, so far as money is concerned, and will always 
have an abundance of friends about you who are ex- 
ceedingly fond of you. You will be most fortunate in 
your love affairs, and demand that the object of your 
affections is also true to his vows and promises. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Sir John Lubbock. 



86 Astrological Birthday Book 

MAY 1. 

You are steadfast in your friendships, and rarely 
forsake a friend who appeals to you for aid. You are 
penetrating in your analysis of people, and appreciate 
all the subtleties of character. You are rather dogged 
and tenacious, and once you have set your mind to do a 
certain thing, nothing on earth would stop you. You 
have distinct literary talent, and an interest in a wide 
range of general information. You have no use for the 
shams and make-believes of life; but stand by the reali- 
ties. You have considerable force of character, a sharp 
wit, and can be caustic at times, sometimes when you 
don't intend to be. On the whole you are serious minded, 
though you can enter into the fun and gaiety of life with 
anybody. You are masterful, and a greater power in your 
own sphere. You have a many-sided nature, and wide 
sympathy. You take an interest in life, and are always 
active in mind and body. You have great creative power : 
remarkable judgment and wisdom. You have natural 
patience and are rather long-suffering. You are imagin- 
ative, but wisely guided. You are very popular, to your 
own and the opposite sex also. You are a natural leader. 
Famous Persons Born This Day 

The Duke of Wellington and Marie Corelli. 



MAY 2. 

You are original and inventive. You have great 
natural resources, and are careful about the friends you 
make. You do not make friends easily. You are born 
to command, and cannot serve well under the rule of 
others. You are a great lover of order, and cannot bear 
to see anything disarranged. You are fond of music 
and the fine arts ; and take a great interest in such things. 
You should never have to do any of the hard, rough 
work of life, as you are unfitted by nature for this sort of 
thing. You penetrate at once to the heart of a problem ; 



Astrological Birthday Book 87 

and are sarcastic when you discover hypocrisy or fraud. 
You are very close-mouthed about your own affairs, 
and no one ever gets any secret out of you which you 
want to keep in reserve. You are naturally a good diplo- 
mat ; and can live a double life very easily, if you make 
up your mind to do so. Your talents are not sufficiently 
appreciated, as they should be, and you often have to 
suffer humiliation because of the short-sightedness and 
bad judgment of others. Above all, you should be inde- 
pendent, for you will never be happy otherwise. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Queen Natalie. 



MAY 3. 



You have a great love of humanity, and do all that 
you can for suffering persons on all occasions. You 
also love animals, and they in turn love you. You have 
a good business head and good judgment. You are un- 
selfish, and constantly make sacrifices for others, which 
are not sufficiently appreciated. You have a keen interest 
in foreign countries, particularly the Orient ; and the 
dream of your life is to travel there, and study the life 
and customs of those people at considerable length. You 
have a naturally strong will, but you do not make quite 
as much use of this as you should. You have good 
taste; are sprightly and active, and very popular with 
the opposite sex. You can mdiiage to keep a dozen of 
them guessing at a time, if you choose to, but you do not 
as a rule care to. You like them better as friends than 
as lovers. Yet you like to be admired, just as much as 
anybody else. You are fond of outdoor sports of all 
kinds, and particularly of dogs and horses. The prob- 
ability is that you would not like cats. All shades of 
green and pink would suit you ; but you could not wear 
lavender, as this would not suit your complexion and 
general coloring. Pearls, garnets and amethysts are the 



88 Astrological Birthday Book 

stones for you to wear. You would probably make the 
happiest marriage with one born in January or December. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Jacob Riis, author and socialist. 



MAY 4. 

You are straightforward, blunt and direct. You have 
an eminently practical nature, and cannot understand 
those who run after dreams, and allow themselves to be 
governed by the advice of others. Science is the great 
interest of your life. You should be placed so that you 
could devote your time to study, for if not, the world 
will be deprived of a great deal, as the result of your 
labors. If a woman, you have a leaning towards the 
stage. You have dramatic ability, and display good 
taste in your dress. You are very careful in money 
matters, and can make a dollar go as far as anyone you 
have ever met. If a man, you have a taste for mechanics ; 
and you are never so happy as when you are experiment- 
ing with some new machine, when there is a danger of 
the thing blowing up, and blowing you along with it! 
You should be very successful in speculation of all kinds, 
and probably fortunate at all games of chance. Do not 
let this instinct run away with you, however, or you will 
some day experience a great shock, and find yourself 
suddenly bankrupt. If you come across a friend in 
need, you will share every cent you have in the world 
with him. You are bright and cheerful, and should live 
a joyous, happy life. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 

Huxley and William Prescott. 



MAY 5. 

You have a remarkably retentive memory, and should 
be good at figures. You are probably fond of indoor 
games, involving a certain amount of brain work, such 
as chess, etc. You should have a good speaking voice, 



Astrological Birthday Book 89 

and probably would make a good public speaker. You 
are not careful enough in money matters, especially in 
that you do not save enough. You must learn to think 
of the future and save up for a' "rainy day." At the 
same time, you should be enabled to accumulate quite a 
small fortune before you die; but remember that all you 
will ever get will be the result of your own energies and 
=5 and no one will help you to any great extent 
. efforts. You are rather a flirt, and unless you 
are careful you will succeed in breaking many hearts 
before "ou die. You must take care not to offend your 
friends by the things you say or do, as you may need 
their friendship later on in life. Cultivate self-reliance 
and a little more modesty. You have a tendency to 
worry, which does you no good, and it often brings about 
ills which are quite imaginary or never come to pass. 
Women born today might wear various shades of yellow 
to advantage ; they should also look well in black. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Bancroft, the historian. 



MAY 6. 

You are inquisitive, and during your early childhood 
were in all probability in all sorts of trouble. The weird 
and the mysterious attracted you, and when you were 
young you were always poking about old corners, getting 
into trouble, and getting your clothes inky black. You 
have a great deal of pluck and determination, and nothing 
ever daunts you or makes you give up. You are re- 
served in your manner and do not make friends easily. 
What friends you do make are true and loyal, however. 
You would do well in partnership, and the probability 
is that you would not make a very great success alone. 
You are as good as your word in everything you say or 
do. You should develop your talents along one certain line. 
for if you scatter them over a wide area they will none 
of them count, and your life will be largely wasted. 



90 Astrological Birthday Book 

You are too quick tempered, a fault you must learn above 
all else to overcome. Study your own nature and char- 
acter, and ascertain its weaknesses, and strive to remedy 
these latter. If you do so, you should be one of the 
great men or women of the age. Women born this day 
are intellectual, loyal, true, and good "pals." 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Peary, discover of the North Pole. 



MAY 7. 

You are fond of public life, and would shine in the 
proper setting and environment. You are rather in- 
clined to see the sins of others, and pay too little atten- 
tion to your own. You are very reserved, patient, and 
the lighter side of life does not attract you as it does 
many others. You are interested in philosophy, meta- 
physics and any questions which serve to answer the 
queries : What am I, When Came I ? Whither go I ? 
At the same time, you have a very practical side to your 
nature, and you will probably succeed in accumulating 
quite a little money in your lifetime, just by reason of 
your steady, solid interests and beliefs. It would be 
unwise for you to invest and speculate much, as this 
will not be fortunate for you. You have strong opinions, 
which are, however, seldom expressed. You like pleasing 
others, and will often put yourself out a great deal to 
help a fellow sufferer, who is in distress. You have a 
very clear mind, which picks out at once the main points 
of a thing, and sticks to principles. You are really very 
affectionate, but it is hard for you to show your affec- 
tion. You are naturally demonstrative, like many others. 
But you feel very deeply, and when you find one worthy 
of your love you will be enabled to give such a person 
a great deal of genuine love and affection. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Socrates. 



Astrological Birthday Book 91 

MAY 8. 

You have rather a sombre, melancholy turn of mind, 
which looks on the serious side of life, and seems at 
times to bear all the accumulated woes of the world. 
You should learn to overcome this, and cultivate a sense 
of humor — even the ridiculous in things. Read comic 
papers, and see plays which have a strain of fun in them 
— but not too much, or you will get disgusted, and be 
worse than before! One day you will surprise yourself 
by the way in which you will burst forth, and do some- 
thing really great. You have a poetic nature, and should 
compose excellent verse. You alternately take a great 
interest in worldly things, and again you do not seem 
to care for them at all. The beautiful in nature appeals 
to you greatly. You would not be at all lucky in games 
of chance; into which you should not enter. This ap- 
plies also to business "ideals," involving a risk. In your 
case, they would not turn out favorably. You have a 
good deal of pluck, and are naturally self-reliant. If a 
woman, you should always be well-dressed, as you are 
one of those persons who do not look well in every- 
thing. Always be careful of your personal appearance, 
even in the morning; as little things count in the game 
of life; and the early morning hours tell a long tale to 
the careful observer! 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Dante. 



MAY 9. 

You have a high regard for yourself and your own 
judgment. Not that this is unwarranted, as a rule; but 
you perhaps underestimate the ability of others. You 
are patient, but apt to fly into rages, when angered. You 
are cautious, inquisitive, love certain kinds of work, 
and have strong literary tastes. You should live in the 
country, as your best work seems to be brought out by 
the calm and peace of mind which this environment 
brings. You have high ideals, but are a little inclined to 



92 Astrological Birthday Book 

be selfish. You always have an eye for the main chance, 
and are capable of looking after your own interests all 
right. You are talented, but somehow you cannot make 
others appreciate your true worth, and hence remain 
poor during your early life because of this fact. One 
day your eyes will be opened to a Great Truth, and you 
will have plain sailing thenceforward. You can live 
alone and get along by yourself all right; but at the 
same time you are a lover of the opposite sex, and like 
to feel that someone is near you all the time, who is fond 
of you and who will do things for you. You must learn 
to make sacrifices, if you would have others make 
sacrifices for you. Cultivate your will; and success 
should be yours. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

John Brown, the Abolitionist. 



MAY 10. 

You have a very versatile nature; interested in many 
things, and capable of doing several things well. You 
have good judgment and have clear discrimination on 
many points. Your friends and neighbors will come 
to you to straighten out many points which trouble them. 
You are fond of life and all that life means. You like 
your food and drink pretty well — perhaps too well — and 
must learn a little more restraint in this direction. You 
are rather too easy with yourself and others, and in- 
clined to take things as they come, instead of fighting 
and making things conform to your wishes and be as 
you would have them to be. You are keen and alert in 
mind, and a great reader ; but you somehow do not seem 
to retain what you read; it goes "in at one ear and out 
of the other." You are bound to travel a great deal, 
and probably will not settle long in any one place, which 
you call home. You are fond of the luxuries of life; 
though you can do without them whenever necessary. 
You should have a very distinctive handwriting, known 



Astrological Birthday Book 93 

at once to all your friends. You are loving, and must 
have a great deal of love in your life. You are depen- 
dent upon others, and do not like to work, if you can 
avoid it. But if you have to, you will buckle to and work 
hard with anybody. You are more interested in life than 
anything else ; and the problems of heart and soul have 
always especially interested you. You will be well off, 
later on in life. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

James Gordon Bennett, owner of N. Y. Herald. 



MAY 11. 

You are inventive, ingenious, and have a good busi- 
ness head. You will never get left far behind on any 
business "deal." At the same time you are kindly and 
charitable, and like doing good for others. If a woman, 
you are catching and dashy and might be considered 
"cute" by a large percentage of people. Men are always 
attracted to you — sometimes in a way you do not quite 
like. You are keen on improving yourself in various 
ways, and read everything along this line (new thought) 
you can get hold of. You are very r ond of animals — 
particularly cats. You have strong likes and dislikes, 
and can be a good hater just as well as a good lover, on 
occasion. Yet most of the time you are winsome and 
sweet; and no one would suspect the fires which sleep 
within your breast, until they are kindled into activity 
by some strange incident. You will experience many 
strange ups and downs during your life, and see many 
strange scenes and places. You should rarely be alone, 
if possible. You have the ability to conceive and carry 
out great ideas, and would make your biggest success in 
life in this direction. You are a good "mixer" and can 
make friends with anyone with whom you come into 
contact. You are quite a reformer, and never so happy 



94 Astrological Birthday Book 

as when you are upsetting some principle which has 
been held to for a number of years! 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Elizabeth Towne. 



MAY 12. 

You have a keen intellectual interest in all things 
which pertain to the mind and soul of men. You are 
independent, and live your own life, little caring what 
others may think of you. If a man, you have a distinct 
interest in politics, and in this you would doubtless 
excel. You have a strong magnetic presence, are gen- 
erous, and live a great deal on your emotions and sensa- 
tions. You will probably never be wealthy, as your 
generous nature would not allow you to gather great 
wealth at the expense of others. At the same time, you 
will never be very poor. It is probable that you will 
rise to a place of distinction in the literary or artistic 
world. You are interested in psychic and occult matters, 
and from to time spend quite a little money in visiting 
mediums, palmists, etc., of all sorts. You are intense in 
your emotions, and have a great power of love. You 
should pick out, for your life partner, one who is steady 
and constant, as you will never be satisfied with any- 
thing less. Cultivate your mind more, and you would 
be far happier. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Henry Cabot Lodge. 



MAY 13. 

Born this day, you have natural aptitude and ability. 
You are strong, dogged and determined. Your amorous 
nature is strong, which you must learn to control. You 
have a fine, clear mind, but you do not use it enough, 
or in the proper way. You must take an interest in the 
more serious things of life; as it is not intended to be 



Astrological Birthday Book 95 

devoted entirely to pleasure and comfort. Try to leave 
some "footprints in the sands of time" by creating and 
leaving behind you some permanent, substantial work, 
which future generations will treasure. You can if you 
try, since you have all the necessary ability. You can 
be the master of your own fate and fortune ; and create 
success, if you will to. Say to yourself twenty times a 
day: "I will succeed." Begin a life of action, since 
dreamers never amounted to anything, so long as they re- 
main dreamers. If you are a woman, you will probably 
have a great deal of trouble with your love affairs, and 
a hard time making up your mind, as to just what you 
want to do with your various beaux and suitors ! Think 
well, and do not marry too young, which would be un- 
wise for one of your nature. You are very fond of 
your food, like all people born this month, and must be 
careful that you do not become a glutton. Above all, 
learn to master your will ; and you will then have learned 
one of the greatest lessons in life. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Joseph Le Conte. 



MAY 14. 

You are a "good fellow" and have a lively sense of 
humor. You are happy and cheerful, and bring hap- 
piness and sunshine with you wherever you go. You are 
a "money getter," and will probably be very successful 
in all ventures of the kind. You will travel much, mostly 
on business. You have good taste and judgment and can 
handle a difficult situation to your own credit and the ben- 
efit of all concerned. Because of the fact that you make 
friends so easily, and are so well liked by those whom 
you meet, you must be careful in the selection of your 
intimate friends. You must exercise some discrimina- 
tion, and/ determine to eliminate those who hinder you 
or drag you down, and cultivate those who can help 
you or will do you good. This is equally important for 



96 Astrological Birthday Book 

the women as for the men born today. You have a 
taste for oratory and the stage, and should make a 
success at politics. If a woman, you may have red hair, 
and in any case you probably have the temperament 
which goes with it — a quick, fiery disposition, quick to 
anger and as soon forgiving and forgiven. Quiet dresses, 
which are simple and well-made, should suit you best. 
Grays and blues are your natural colors. You have a 
keen sense of humor, and are a great practical joker. You 
will probably have a good deal of money before you 
die — all of which you must earn yourself, however, 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Timothy Dwight. 



MAY 15. 

You are intuitive, subtle, a good deal of a diplomat. 
You are fond of organizing new things, and teem with 
original ideas, which you are always wanting to put into 
practice. You are inclined to be mystical, and are very 
fond of all that pertains to the occult and mysterious. 
You are rather a tyrant, when once you have gained the 
upper hand, and must learn the lesson that the greatest 
test of character is the ability to withstand success — 
and the power over others which this brings. If a man, 
you would succeed, by reason of your originality and 
diplomacy, rather than because of any special business 
judgment you may possess. You have distinct business 
ability, and should be enabled to write good books. You 
have a magnetic personality, and could hold an audience 
well. If a woman, you are delicate, refined and gentle by 
nature, by no means a weakling. You have strong ideas 
of your own. You have a great deal of patience, and 
your share of tact. While you appear to be quiet and 
demure, there is much more brewing within you than 
the average observer would suppose; you always have 
a few interests up your sleeve which no one knows any- 
thing about! You probably have light hair, and a 



Astrological Birthday Book 97 

pretty face, with a good complexion. You should be 
fond of music, and make a good performer upon the 
piano. The diamond and emerald are the stones for you 
to wear; light blue and gray are your colors. You will 
probably make a wealthy marriage before you are out of 
your twenties. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Thomas Lake Harris. 



MAY 16. 

You are stern and unforgiving in your nature — a good 
deal of the Puritan about you. You have remarkable 
business judgment, keen insight and ability. You have 
a mind capable of dealing in large things and grasping 
the details of an enormous number of intricate business 
details. You should certainly succeed in business for 
yourself, as you are throwing away your talents in 
working for anyone else. You believe in the maxim: 
"Any means to an end" ; but forget that every good or 
bad action brings its own reward, and recoils on the 
sender like a boomerang. It is this "juggernaut" in 
yourself which you must learn to repress. That done, 
you should be a fine character, as you have a keen sense 
of right and justice. Learn to make allowances for the 
shortcomings and weaknesses of others. You should 
make a great business success. If a woman, you would 
be good in business, but at the same time, you always 
secretly long to have a home of your own, and be there, 
with some one you love, sheltered and protected from 
the world. You are fond of society, and a great talker 
on occasion, when you "get started." You are fond of 
reading; but are always ready to drop the book when 
someone more interesting makes his appearance. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Armour, the beef magnate. 



98 Astrological Birthday Book 

MAY 17. 

You have an active, alert mind, one which is original 
and inventive. You are not content to follow old truths, 
but must strike out for yourself, and see what is good 
and true in any new thought or movement. You are a 
natural explorer, whether of things of the mind, or in 
more widely distributed areas. You have a strong and 
independent character, and never follow others, just 
because the majority do so. You have a great love of 
Nature, and a distinctly artistic bent. You would prob- 
ably paint or play ; but all your work will be tinged with 
the romantic and the melancholy. You do not quite 
understand this streak in yourself; for you are usually 
gay and lively enough. If a woman, you have marked 
dramatic ability, and should succeed as an emotional 
actress. You have a good speaking voice, when it has 
once been trained, and a fine personal appearance. Take 
a little more pains over this, and cater to the public taste 
a little more than you do — for remember that, in a 
certain sense, "fine feathers" do "make fine birds." Live 
up to the best in yourself, and yours should be a happy 
and long life! 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Seb. Kneipp, the water-cure doctor. 



MAY 18. 

You take an interest in a great many things. You are 
quick and naturally witty, and should shine in a crowd. 
You are fond of entertaining, and of going out into 
society a good deal. You are fond of a good dinner, and 
like having a "good time" in every way you possibly 
can. Be careful that this trait does not run away with 
you, or you may acquire habits which you would after- 
wards give much to break. You should cultivate a 
greater love of reading and for the heavier and more 
serious side of life. You should be a good mimic; and 
have a keen sense of humor, and the ridiculous side of 



'Astrological Birthday Booh 99 

things. You have good business judgment, and a "long 
head" in all transactions of the mind. Although you 
are thus democratic, you have a strong sense of the 
propriety of things, and do not like undue familiarity. 
If a woman, you probobly have a natural aptitude for 
dancing; you are graceful and active on your feet. You 
should make a good tennis player; and would be fond 
•of outdoor sports, if you had much opportunity to play 
at them. You are frank, open and sincere. You are 
attractive to the opposite sex in a remarkable degree; 
and always make good and fast friends, as well as 
having innumerable lovers ! At times, you have almost 
too much common sense for your own good; remember 
that romance and emotion do still play a large and im- 
portant part in life! 

Famous Persons Born This Day 
Czar Nicholas II and John W. Gates. 



MAY 19. 

You have dramatic ability ; and are very musical. You 
should have a good voice, which deserves cultivation 
and training. You are inclined to be a little too free- 
and-easy in your bearing and your speech — a fault which 
will earn for you a bad reputation if you do not over- 
come it before it has gone too far. You have a restless 
disposition; a great love of travel; and will doubtless 
see all parts of the world before you have finished your 
life. You are energetic and enthusiastic. You have a 
quick temper, which you must learn above all things to 
control. You are pretty and attractive; probably lithe 
and supple in your carriage. You are very fond of 
music and art. You are social and kind ; fond of animals ; 
you like plenty of light; and are rather fond of being 
the center of attraction. You are emotional, even pas- 
sionate, in your nature; inclined to be fickle in your 
love affairs, though staunch and true to your friends. 
You should be fortunate in speculations of all kinds, 



100 Astrological Birthday Book 

but, unless you are careful, this interest will lead to 
your ultimate downfall. You will probably acquire a 
good deal of money, during your life; but unless you 
fcre on your guard, you will go through it quickly, and 
have nothing left for an old age. You are inclined to 
wear bright colors of all kinds, of which you are very 
fond. Learn to cultivate your will ! 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Mme. Nelle Melba. 



MAY 20. 

You have distinct literary and artistic ability. You 
are a good student of human nature, and know all the 
subtle motives and desires which prompt persons to do 
certain things. If at all religiously inclined, you might 
become a Jesuit — which would appeal to you in many 
ways. You have great patience and perseverance, and 
can handle men, by appealing to their weaknesses. You 
are kind and sympathetic, however; and if you could 
be a little more frank and open you would be very 
popular. You have a sensitive nature, and feel slights 
very keenly. You are capable of a wide range of emo- 
tions, from the most frivolous to the most grave. You 
are energetic, and capable of undertaking a good many 
different things, and carrying them all through to suc- 
cess. You have many interests ; if a woman, dress, art, 
literature, drama, and numerous other things. You are 
quick in temper, strong and imperious. At the same 
time you are timid and afraid of the dark. The mys- 
terious always fascinated, and at the same time repelled, 
you. You are fond of reading; and will probably come 
in for a good deal of money, from quite unexpected 
sources, when about twenty-two or twenty-three years 
of age. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Honore de Balzac. 



Astrological Birthday Book 101 

MAY 21. 

You have a very compassionate nature — one which 
feels things keenly, and suffers with the sufferings of 
humanity. You are probably very interested in social- 
ism, or at least have a leaning in that direction. You are 
slightly religious in bent of mind, though not very ortho- 
dox. You are sincere, and have strong convictions You 
will probably travel a good deal, especially in tropical 
countries, where you must be careful of your health, or 
otherwise you will run grave danger of dying of fever. 
At the ages of 18, 26 and 33, strange events will happen 
in your life ; which will shock you greatly at the time. 
March 26th will prove a lucky day for you. You are a 
little .inclined to jealousy; and you must cure yourself 
of the habit of thinking or speaking sarcastic things 
about others, which you are a little inclined to do. You 
are particularly fond of the home and home life — this 
being more true, naturally, of women than of men born 
this day. At the same time, you are fond of society, 
and enjoy the things of this world. You are naturally 
modest and retiring, but at the same time ambitious, 
and you have a strong desire to attain the highest rung 
of the ladder on which you happen to be climbing at the 
time. You would make a good doctor. Women born 
today would make excellent nurses, or guardians of the 
sick. You will never be in need of admirers; your 
trouble, in all probability, will be that you have too 
many! 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Elizabeth Fry, the prison reformer. 



MAY 22. 

Literary and artistic ability stand out, before all else, 
for those born this day. You would make a great and 
powerful writer; or, on the contrary, an artist or 
musician — whichever you turn your attention to the 
most strongly. You have a great deal of natural genius, 



102 Astrological Birthday Boole 

.which you have only to cultivate, and you will achieve 
success and distinction in whatever line of work you 
undertake. You are many sided, and could undertake 
a variety of things well. Your sense of decoration and 
color is well developed, so that you would make a suc- 
cess at this, should you undertake it. If a woman, you 
show wonderful taste about your dress; and you can 
make a pretty dress out of less than anyone of your 
acquaintance. You have originality, and are constantly 
inventing new ideas, and new methods of spending your 
time, which no one else could think of. You should have 
great success in the direction of money-making, not so 
much because you have a thorough knowledge of busi- 
ness methods as because of your originality and genius. 
You have many ups and downs, happy and unlucky days ; 
fortune and misfortune. January and June are the 
best months for you to undertake any new enterprise. 
You will always be very popular and have a good deal 
of affection and love in your life. Do not overestimate 
your own powers of discrimination, and all should go 
well with you. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 

Richard Wagner and Sir A. Conan Doyle. 



MAY 23. 

You are of the nervous, energetic type, always on the 
move, and with a liking to see others active and busy 
around you also. You are rather too easily influenced 
by those around you, and should learn to be more inde- 
pendent of them. You should look best in white, blue 
or any light shade. The beryl is the stone you should 
wear, if possible, this bringing fortune to you. The 
thirteenth will always prove a fortunate day for you; 
and you will experience the happiest day of your life on 
the sixth of March. Success and failure will probably 
be found to alternate in your life in a most bewildering 
manner; they seem to alternate or run in cycles. You 



Astrological Birthday Book 103 

are a good talker, a mimic and have the ability to enter- 
tain a whole room full of friends. If a man, you should 
be a good orator; if a woman, your tastes and talents 
will run more to the stage. Never be satisfied with 
small successes for you can accomplish far greater 
things, if you set your mind and will" do so. You are 
too carried away by appearances; but not enough in- 
clined to analyze the character of the person before 
you — to judge his good or bad qualities. You must 
look below the surface. You will probably acquire a 
good deal of -money early in life; but unless you are 
very cautious and careful you will lose it again very 
quickly. Be especially careful about all investments ; 
and do not put your trust in people too easily. You 
have a very strong love-nature, which you cannot always 
keep in control, as completely as you would like. Cul- 
tivate a little more self-confidence. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

William O. Perkins, the noted American composer. 



MAY 24. 

You are gentle and kind by nature; but also firm. 
You are far-seeing, true and loyal in your affections. 
You are a natural diplomat ; and tact is to you second 
nature. At the same time, you are hearty and not a bit 
of a prude. You are inclined to talk a little too much 
for your own good. Learn to be a good listener. You 
are artistic, interested in scientific things, in political 
questions — in fact, an all-round person. You are a born 
debater, and shine in an argument. For this reason, 
you would, if a man, make a good lawyer. You are 
handy with tools and are fond of mechanics. You are 
interested in the occult and the mysterious; the psychic 
lures you onward. You are fond of reading, and prob- 
ably will accumulate a good library. You are lively 
and entertaining; fond of a good time, and like lots of 
friends about you, with fun and amusement all the 



104 Astrological Birthday Book 

time. You should have a successful life, and achieve 
success and distinction in whatever line of endeavor you 
undertake. You have very good common sense, a clear 
mind, and good judgment. Your chief fault consists in 
speaking or thinking evil of others. This is a habit 
which you must cure yourself of, at all costs. You are 
inclined to be nervous, and worry yourself over trifles. 
Remember that worry never helped anyone; but on the 
contrary always hurt everyone who allowed himself to 
worry. Cultivate an even mind and even temper. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Queen Victoria. 



MAY 25. 



You have a strong character — one sufficient unto it- 
self, and not at all dependent upon the persons with 
whom you are thrown into contact. Logic and reason is 
strong with you; you are fond of metaphysics, and all 
subtle hair-spliting theories and do not cling close 
enough to the practical, and to material things for your 
•own good. You have a religious turn of mind, which 
inclines you to be fanatical at times. The mysterious 
especially attracts you, and unless you are careful, you 
will get your wings scorched, like the moth in the flame. 
All this applies to men born this day, but not to women, 
They are of a different stamp. They are enthusiastic, 
active and vivacious. They are fond of activity and life ; 
and do not care at all for the more serious things, which 
they should learn to appreciate more. You are very 
fond of home, and would be happier fixing up a home 
of your own than anything else you could imagine. You 
are fond of nature and the country; but also of city 
life and bustle. You have distinct literary ability; and 
should make a good writer. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 

Emerson and Dowie, founder of Zion City. 



'Astrological Birthday Book 10a 

MAY 26. 

You are careful, methodical, prudent. You would 
make a careful manager, and, if a woman, a good house- 
wife. You are neat and always careful about your per- 
sonal appearance. You are fond of reading, and take a 
great interest in anything scientific. You would also 
be good at mathematics; and if a man you should excel 
as an engineer or expert accountant. You have a strong 
musical bent, and could doubtless compose, if you tried; 
or improvise upon the piano. You are kind and sym- 
pathetic. You are loyal in your friendships, and only 
give your love when you feel deeply and sincerely. You 
are a good observer, quiet and reserved. You are short- 
sighted only to your own faults, which you often over- 
look most oddly. You must learn to give yourself 
more freely, remembering that only by loving can love 
be won. If a woman, you are a little inclined to be 
caustic in your remarks about others — a habit of which 
you must cure yourself. You must always make it a 
point to keep your word, as nothing is more important in 
life than to have the reputation of always being as good 
as your word. You are at times very psychic, and have 
strange feelings and impulses which you do not under- 
stand. Rely upon your own resources, do not put too 
much trust in others, and yours should be a long, happy 
and extremely successful life. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
R. C. Carrington, the English astronomer. 



MAY 27. 

You should be clever with your hands ; draw well, and 
undertake delicate operations, requiring skill and dex- 
terity. You might be a good surgeon, or if you follow 
a trade, a watchmaker or similar artisan. You are 
poetical, literary and artistic. You have also a good 
business head, and can take care of money when it is 
given into your keeping. You are very affectionate, and 



106 Astrological Birthday Booh 

a little too inclined to trust to others. Do not let your 
heart run away with your head, or you will regret it 
afterwards. You are unselfish and gentle. You have 
a love for humanity, and if a man you would doubtless 
be interested in socialism. You are at times very de- 
spondent, and again as light hearted as possible. You 
are rather psychic, and open to influences, which you 
must learn to guard against. You will probably travel 
a great deal, during your life; and never settle for any 
great length of time in one place. You are quick tem- 
pered, rapid to anger but also quick to forgive. You 
are very ambitions and desire to reach the top of the 
ladder of fame, if that be possible. You must learn to 
know yourself first, for you can never expect to make 
a success of your life if you do not. You demand a 
great deal of love from the opposite sex; and you are 
also capable of granting such yourself. You are warm 
blooded and warm hearted, quick and impulsive. Cul- 
tivate self-restraint, as you will need it one day in an 
emergency. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 

Julia Ward Howe and Jay Gould. 



MAY 28. 

You have a quick, alert brain — one which sees things 
in a flash, and acts upon them quickly. You have strong 
impulses, which you are apt to follow a little too freely. 
You are fond of games of chance, and very lucky in 
that direction, as a rule. You probably have remarkable 
dreams, which seem to you to be symbolic, if only you 
could get them properly interpreted. You are sensitive 
to slights, but appreciative of any kindness done to you. 
Your passional nature is very strong, offset by a streak 
of fear and reverence, which never allows you to go 
very far astray. You are fond of home and the society 
of friends. You might be enabled to write good poetry, 
if you tried to. You are attracted by new cults, new 



Astrological Birthday Book 107 

ideas and new religions. You will doubtless derive 
many new truths from these, but do not be carried away 
by what you hear, nor believe everything which is told 
you. You are one of those natures which demand a 
good deal of excitement ; and for this reason you would 
not be happy, for long together in the country. If a 
woman, you would look well in fluffs and frills; and 
could wear jewelry to advantage. This is probably one 
of your weaknesses ; in fact, and you are never tired 
of buying and trying on gew-gaws of this character. If 
you trained your will, there is scarcely anything you 
could not accomplish, for, with your natural gifts, you 
should be enabled to make a great success in life. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Thomas Moore, author of "Lallah Rooke." 



MAY 29. 

You are magnetic and have a good deal of charm 
about you, which draws people to you, even though they 
may not always like you. You have a faculty of getting 
out of difficulties and awkward situations, no matter 
how difficult they may be. You are very changeable and 
moody, hardly ever being the same individual for a day 
at a time. You are fond of society; and have great 
aspirations in that direction. You are quite a climber, 
in fact. You are gay and spirited at times ; at other 
times morbid and melancholy. These latter conditions 
are largely the result of your physical health. You have 
a tendency, most probably, to suffer from your liver, 
and should be careful not to eat too many fatty and 
sweet things, of which you are doubtless fond. You 
must learn to take yourself more seriously, and make 
more of a business of life. Not necessarily become 
morbid about it, but remember that success is won by 
carefully laid plans, and determined effort. It is never 
due to Luck. There is no such thing as Luck in the 



108 Astrological Birthday Book 

Universe! If things seem to go wrong with you, on 
occasion, look for the fault within yourself. Every man 
creates his own Universe, and the world in which he 
dwells. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Patrick Henry, the great statesman. 



MAY 30. 

You are a little too serious minded for your own good. 
Learn to expand, to spread your affections over a wider 
area; you will be liked more in return. Learn to spend 
your money with a little more open hand; money will 
come to you in return. You have a fair, impartial mind, 
which goes straight to the point, without beating about 
the bush. You are quiet and reserved; and while these 
are good qualities, you must learn also that when carried 
to excess they are faults, and a sign of too much self- 
analysis and attention. You are original, intuitive, fond 
of outdoor sports, especially early in life. You are very 
fond of books, in fact rather a bookworm. Your in- 
terests are mainly scientific; but you have a taste for 
good music, too, though you probably cannot play any 
instrument yourself. You will travel a good deal in 
your life but not until you are in the second half of your 
life. You are not at all emotional or demonstrative; 
but you have strong feelings, and are attracted strongly 
by the opposite sex. You are a good deal of a diplomat ; 
energetic in thought, but dislike physical exertion of any 
kind. You are a little too inclined to "kick against the 
pricks," instead of pitching in and removing them. 
Cultivate self-reliance; learn to say "No"; live up to 
your highest ideas, and you should be enabled to ac- 
complish great things before you die. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
William Springer, a famous American jurist. 



Astrological Birthday Book 109 

MAY 31. 

You have a very varied character, which is hard to 
define. In fact, you don't always understand it your- 
self. You are very fond of the country ; of children and 
animals. You have a streak in you which is more or 
less religious, but you are in no way orthodox. You 
are a good organizer; capable, and businesslike. You 
have a strong literary bent, and could write poetry, 
doubtless, if you tried to do so. You are not very fond 
of society, but often prefer to be alone with your 
own thoughts and reflections. You should be very 
successful in business; and inclined to ride rough shod 
over others, without regard for their feelings. You have 
a great deal of energy which you are inclined to expend 
lavishly. You are fond of your food; and must guard 
against over-eating and more particularly over-drinking. 

You are inclined to count the cost in everything you 
undertake, and seldom get left in any business trans- 
action in which you may be interested. If a woman, you 
have a love for the beautiful, and display good taste and 
originality on your home and in your dress. The moon- 
stone would be a fortunate stone for you to wear. 
Saturdays would be fortunate days for you on which to 
begin any undertaking. The eighth of January would 
prove a fortunate day for you. Find out your own faults 
by self-analysis and determine to conquer them. In 
this way success and lasting happiness will be attained. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Walt Whitman. 



JUNE 1. 

You are very original ; impulsive and imperious. You 
like to have your own way in everything you do or 
undertake. You take an interest only in large enter- 
prises, and small details do not attract you in the least. 
You are independent, and care little for the opinions of 



110 Astrological Birthday Book 

others, who are more conventional than yourself. You 
are intuitive, and a strong religious streak runs through 
your nature. You are not fond of society ; but also love 
solitude, and often walk out into the woods by yourself 
and meditate. You have a good brain, which only needs 
training to make you a great success in life. You are 
apt to get discouraged, as one after another, the things 
you try do not succeed in the way you had hoped. Do 
not let this influence you; remember that the darkest 
hour is always before the dawn; and just as you think 
you have failed, you will find it turned into a brilliant 
victory. Your life seems to run in cycles of three; and 
if you will look back upon your life, you will find this 
is the case. You love secrecy; and anything deep and 
mysterious appeals to you. If a woman, you are very 
fond of arranging colors so as to suit yourself, and 
artistically arrange your dresses and your house. You 
are domestic, and almost born to be a mother. You 
should marry very young, and have a family. Be care- 
ful in your choice of a life partner, however, and think 
that what is once done, can't be undone. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Briguam Young, founder of Mormonism. 



JUNE 2. 

You are tactful, ingenious, clever; a good deal of a 
diplomat. You are inclined to be a little hypocritical, 
and under cover of a sanctimonious exterior, you cover 
up thoughts and sentiments which no one believes you 
have. This does not necessarily mean that you harbor 
any evil intentions against anyone; but you are not as 
white as you are painted. You are a great reader, and 
fond of books. Probably detective stories appeal to 
you, and any literature which borders on the* fantastic 
and the weird. You are religious, even narrow in your 
viewpoints. You need broadening out, and to get a 
larger, healthier and more common sense viewpoint of 



Astrological Birthday Book 111 

things and life generally, which only travel and contact 
with all kinds of minds will give you. You do not care 
much, however, for travel, but are quite contented to 
sit at home, and look after your own interests there. 
You should be successful in business, and few will get 
ahead of you in any undertaking you enter. There is a 
possibility you will never marry; and if you do you 
must make a determined effort to sacrifice much that is 
dear to you, otherwise you will never be happy. You 
are strongly drawn to the opposite sex, though no one 
would believe this of you, to see you and hear you talk. 
It is there, nevertheless. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Pope Pius X. 



JUNE 3. 

You are strong willed and independent. You love 
justice done, so long as the right swings in your direc- 
tion. When the concensus of opinion goes against you, 
you are not so anxious to see the letter of the law en- 
forced. You are restless and fond of travel. You make 
many friends, who will be loyal to you through life. 
You must be careful of your chest and lungs, and be out 
of doors a great deal in the fresh air, as this is your 
weak spot. You must learn to take life as it comes, and 
not be downhearted when things do not come out as 
you have planned. There is usually some bitter with 
every sweet, and we must take the one with the other; 
and play at life's game like men and women. Remember 
that "all the world's a stage, and all the people on it 
merely players." Think of the kind of character you 
would like to see yourself, upon the stage, and see 
whether you are acting out that part. If not, chanee 
your mode of life so that you may appear a strone and 
worthy character. You are essentially domestic, and 
fond of home and home life. Women born th ; s iay 
are pretty and attractive and have good minds, with 



112 Astrological Birthday Book 

quick wit and keen, alert brains. They would make a 
good life-partner for any man. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Jefferson Davis. 



JUNE 4. 

You are unselfish and kind, but need little more inde- 
pendence of spirit to make your life a success. Remem- 
ber that one of the hardest things in life is to say No at 
the right time, and when occasion really demands it. 
Do not be influenced by your friends and those about 
you ; you think independently enough ; act more in accord- 
ance with your thoughts and wishes. You are a student, 
and art and science alike attract you. You have marked 
artistic and dramatic ability; and should make a good 
singer or dancer, were you trained to become one. You 
also have literary ability. If a man, you have a good 
speaking voice, which is worth training; you might make 
a good public speaker. Born this day, you would doubt- 
less make a success upon the stage; but remember that 
this is a life of hard work for those who would succeed; 
and not all roses, and spot lights, as many suppose. You 
have strong intuitions, which prove nearly always to be 
correct. Never trust a person you intuitively distrust, 
or you will always regret it. You will never become very 
wealthy, but you will have a good living and accumulate 
a very comfortable sum before you die. You have a 
strong emotional and passional nature, and are attracted 
by and also attracted to the opposite sex to a very strong 
degree. You are bright and energetic, quick and active; 
and should excel in sports of all kinds. Learn to con- 
centrate. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 

King George III, of England. 



Astrological Birthday Book 113 

JUNE 5. 

Yours should be a very interesting life, full of changes 
and abrupt transitions, from one plane of life to another ; 
ups and downs interwined with astonishing rapidity. You 
have many surprises in store for you, the chief of which 
will develop when you are seventeen, twenty-four and 
thirty-one years of age. You are interested in bizarre 
and odd things, such as medical and psychological ques- 
tions, collections, and all sorts of out-of-the-way things. 
At the same time, you have a distinctly sane and scientific 
streak in your nature ; and never get very far away from 
facts. You have a great horror of the insect world, 
which has always repelled you from childhood. You are 
in the world, and enjoy a good meal as much as the 
next man. You are a good organizer, and can undertake 
and successfully undertake large plans. You are of the 
motive temperament, and and have a large stock of 
vitality, which you have a rather lavish way of spending. 
You are always busy, and never let many idle moments 
•slip by. You are reliable, and everything you do is well 
done. You are a good judge of character and can 
usually size up a man when you see him. You are very 
affectionate, and like to be on the move all the time. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

George T. Angell, founder of the Humane Society. 



JUNE 6. 

You are quite original in your thoughts and ideas, and 
would make a good inventor, did you have the oppor- 
tunity. You are courageous, and nothing deters you 
from carrying out a plan of action, when once you have 
decided to do so, and if you think it right. You are 
a great searcher after truth, and never content until you 
have solved a problem or reached the bottom of any 
difficult question. You have a keen sense of balance and 
justice, and would make a good lawyer. You feel things 
very keenly, and things cannot roll off your mind, and 



114 Astrological Birthday Book 

fail to penetrate, like many others. If you fall in love, 
you fall in love deeply and earnestly; by no means are 
you light and frivolous, like many others. For this rea- 
son, you must expect to meet with a great many experi- 
ences in your life which will hurt you keenly; you are 
jtoo sensitive and feel keenly things which the average 
person would barely notice. You must take good care 
of your health ; as you are none too robust. You should 
look for one, in marriage, who has the same ideas and 
aspirations as yourself ; for otherwise you will never be 
happy. You have a difficult nature to manage ; and if you 
master it, and make a success of your life, it will be a 
lasting credit to yourself for your self-mastery. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Nathan Hale, American patriot. 



JUNE 7. 
You have a wise head; good judgment and strong con- 
victions. You also- have strong intuitions, which you can 
usually afford to follow with safety. You are extreme- 
ly musical, and should make a good performer upon the 
piano or other musical instrument. The stringed in- 
strument might particularly appeal to you. You are 
studious, and very fond of reading and learning. Your 
thirst for knowledge is never complete. You are sym- 
pathetic and understanding of the cares of others. You 
are a good deal of a philosopher about your own life; 
and manage to get along far better than you otherwise 
would because of your beliefs and faith. You are a 
great talker, are entertaining and magnetic, and can hold 
a crowd of people amused for hours at a time. You 
have a keen sense of humor. If a woman, you show 
remarkably good choice in the selection of your clothes , 
and can make a little go a long way in your purchases. 
In fact, you are a good manager; and this will stand 
you in good stead if you get married. You are inclined 



'Astrological Birthday Book 115 

to be a flirt, and carry your heart on your coat sleeve. 
Learn to regard the feelings of others more ; see things 
from their standpoint, and you would improve your own 
life and character. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
The Earl of Liverpool. 



JUNE 8. 

You are very temperamental, and are one of those un- 
fortunate beings who suffer from "moods. " These are 
largely within your own power, and you must learn to 
conquer them. Plenty of outdoor exercise, and a simple, 
abstemious diet, will do much to dispel them. On the 
other hand, you must learn to control your mind; and 
this you can only learn to do by studying yourself and 
controlling it. Read some helpful books along the lines 
of New Thought, and they will help you greatly. You 
are distinctly musical, and should be a prominent figure 
in music, if you stick to it long enough. You have a 
good deal of determination and force of character. You 
are exact and methodical, to a certain extent, this being 
offset by your temperament. You are far-sighted in the 
affairs of others; but do not make a great success of 
your own life until you learn to analyse yourself, and see 
wherein you are defective and where your weak points 
lie. You are upright, honest, generous and kind hearted. 
You feel things keenly and are capable of a sincere, 
abiding love. You have very high ideals which are likely 
to be rudely shattered unless you exercise the greatest 
care in your selection of a life's mate. Do not become 
impatient when things do not come out as you had hoped 
and expected. They will all work out for the best in the 
long run — and not so very far ahead either. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 

Robert Schumann and David Porter, of the U. S» 
Navy. 



116 Astrological Birthday Book 

JUNE 9. 

You are generous and sympathetic; there is a good 
deal of the genius about you. You should be enabled to 
write well. You would not probably make a success of 
business if you entered it alone; but you might, if you 
went into it in partnership, leaving most of the business 
details in your partner's hands. You are very attached to 
your home, and do not particularly care for travel, except 
now and then, to see various parts of the world. You 
are careful and conservative. You probably would not 
be lucky in games of chance. You are interested in re- 
forms of various kinds ; and suffering humanity inspires 
you with a genuine pity and love. You are business-like 
and capable of undertaking large enterprises, provided 
the financial part does not enter too largely into your 
domain. You are very independent and would starve 
sooner than borrow. You are proud and would suffer 
in silence, rather than tell others of your wrongs. You 
are a good judge of human nature, and can size-up a 
man as soon as you look at him. You have a good head 
for detail of all kinds; and in fact prefer this kind of 
work to more general schemes, as a rule. You like to 
associate with men and women who are "doing things," 
and the cheap and gaudy side of life has little attraction 
for you. You have steady nerves, which are able to 
stand you in good stead in a crisis. You are reliable ; you 
dislike injustice; are fond of animals. If a woman, you 
should wear quiet, well-made clothes; and avoid all 
flashy, cheap jewelry. Take special care of your health 
and particularly your head and nervous system. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
J. H. Payne, the author of "Home Sweet Home." 



JUNE 10. 
You are a deep thinker, with a passion for getting at 
the Truth at all costs, even if this deprives you of hap- 
piness of a sort. You are not exactly religious, but 



'Astrological Birthday Book 117 

there is a streak in your nature which calls for spiritual 
help and assistance. You are literary, and have a marked 
ability for writing. You are not light or frivolous by 
nature; the serious is clearly marked; even the somber 
is predominant. You are fond of knowledge, and read 
much. You will make a fairly large amount of money 
in solid commercial enterprises, but you do not care for 
the uncertainly and precarious life which is necessitated 
by "living on your wits." You are fond of art, literature 
and music. You might write poetry. But you are not a 
weak character; far from it. On the contrary, you are 
very independent both in thought and action ; and no one 
can deter you from a certain line of action when once 
you have made up your mind to follow a certain course. 
You are apt to fall deeply in love once or twice in your 
life; and when this happens be very careful to pick one 
who will not disappoint you, for otherwise there might be 
a tragedy, because of your ability to feel things so keenly. 
You have a very deep nature ; and you must consequent- 
ly expect to experience all the disadvantages of such a 
disposition as well as all the advantages. You are not 
frivolous; but you have a keen sense of humor all the 
same. Do not be afraid of being natural and spontane- 
ous. There are too many "brakes" on you; take some 
of them off, and the wheels of life will be found to spin 
round all the more easily and rapidly. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Sir Edwin Arnold, the noted English author. 



JUNE 11. 

You are a good talker, lively and entertaining. You 
are very fond of the opposite sex — almost too fond for 
your own good! You are one of those who might "love 
not wisely but too well." You are energetic, fond of 
sports and athletics. You are a natural mimic; fond of a 
good time; it is difficult for you, if a woman, to be seri- 
ous for any length of time together. You should not 



118 Astrological Birthday Book 

marry too young, as this would not, probably, be wise 
for one of your nature. Look well before you leap. 
You are fond of the occult and mysterious ; fond of ex- 
ploring unknown places and getting in difficult places and 
situations, which tax your ingenuity to the unmost to 
escape. You are fond of travel, and will doubtless see 
much of the world before you die. The stage attracts 
you powerfully, and you should make a good actor or 
actress, as you seem naturally fitted for the part. You 
are curious, not to say inquisitive, about all that passes 
around you; and you are a little too prone to pry into 
the affairs of others. You are a money maker, not in 
regular small amounts, but in large investments and big 
speculations, which earn you quick and immediate re- 
turns. You are not overly domesticated, and should cul- 
tivate that side of yourself a little more. Beware of the 
eighth, and seventeenth; as these are not lucky days for 
you. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
James Ballantine, the Scotch artist and poet. 



JUNE 12. 

You are determined, stubborn, dogmatic. You are 
generally determined to have your own way, no matter 
what happens. You have strong prejudices, and an al- 
most military desire to see law and order wherever you 
go. You cannot stand untidiness, and unpunctuality and 
kindred faults make you boil with anger and annoyance. 
Be careful that these characteristics do not get the mas- 
ter of you ; or you will become an "old maid" — with your 
fussiness — instead of a wholesome, genuine man, who 
determines to make external events and things conform 
to him ; instead of making his life conform to them. You 
are just and honest; quiet, reserved, not given to impart- 
ing your wisdom to others unsought. If a woman, you 
are highly intuitional ; you often have thoughts come in- 
to your head, and impressions and feelings sweep over 



Astrological Birthday Book 119 

you which you cannot understand. You have good taste 
in dress ; and can make a little go a long way, either on 
your dress or in your home. You do not make friends 
very easily, but when you do they last for life; and 
nothing can come between you. You are more than 
likely to come into a considerable sum of money quite 
unexpectedly when about twenty-five years of age. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

General Robert H. Wyman, U. S. Army. 



JUNE 13. 

You are clever and many-sided. You have a good 
voice, and should make a good singer. Men born this 
day ought to become orators or speakers, as they have 
the decided talent and ability. Both men and women 
born this day are artistic and musical. You are original, 
intelligent and witty. You go straight to the heart of a 
problem and see at once what the upshot of a transaction 
will be. You are somewhat psychic, and extremely in- 
terested in such things. At the same time, you have very 
good common sense. You have a magnetic personality; 
determination and force of character. At the same time, 
you are rather shy, at times, and afraid to exert your- 
self, or push yourself to the front as you should. You 
are more independent of thought than of action, in fact. 
But remember that the great rewards come only to the 
man who acts; and not to the theorist or the dreamer. 
You are affectionate, and demand a good deal, of love 
from those around* you. You are fond of home, and 
naturally domesticated. For this reason you should 
marry young — provided, of course, that you select the 
right partner, and are not misled by false impressions 
and a certain amount of "bluff," which impresses you, 
but which is worthless when once seen through. Look 
for sincerity and honesty of purpose more than all else. 
Money will come later. With your originality and inven- 



120 Astrological Birthday Book 

tiveness you should make a success of life. Take good 
care of your health ; for upon that happiness, and even 
life itself depends. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Neuendorff, the American musician. 



JUNE 14. 

You are kind and sympathetic; if a man, you will 
probably be interested in socialism and kindred human 
events. You are religious, but broad minded and not 
too orthodox. You are probably quite psychic, and open 
to impressions of all sorts. You have a restless disposi- 
tion and will doubtless circle the globe several times in 
your perigrinations. You have a good business head, and 
close about your own affairs and those of others. No one 
ever gets a secret out of you which you are determined 
to preserve. You are probably fond of the sea, and love 
to sit by the shore, watching the water, and basking in 
the sun. You have a natural love of excitement, and are 
always at your best when there is anything going on 
calling for energy and enthusiasm. You are a good con- 
versationalist, and can talk well, when once you get 
started. You are fond of music, particularly the stringed 
instruments, and should be a good performer on the 
violin, if you made up your mind to take uo that instru- 
ment. You are kind, loving and affectionate. You 
demand love from others, and give it in return. You are 
somewhat emotional by nature ; and should marry young, 
and have a family. You are fond of a good time, will 
make money, and if a man, would shine in politics. On 
the whole, you should be a very charming personality. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Harriet Beecher Stowe. 



Astrological Birthday Book 121 

JUNE 15. 

You are fond of art and literature. The fine arts 
especially attract you, and you like the life which is 
associated with it as you are a natural Bohemian, to a 
great extent. You have a great deal of originality in 
style, manner of speech and in thought; and if you are 
a woman, you will doubtless display this in your dress. 
You do not like conventionality in any form, and have 
no use for the creed of society. You believe that every- 
one should think for himself. You are fearless, and not 
afraid to express your opinions. You are just and hon- 
est. You should never be content with anything but the 
best. Do not be satisfied with a mediocre living, as there 
is all the money in the world at your command; all you 
have to do is to think of something which you want, 
and you can have all you want of this illimitable store. 
You must realize your own worth, and make others feel 
it also. You have not enough appreciation of your own 
worth; and you will always get returns according to the 
estimate you place upon yourself, as it is upon this esti- 
mate that the world at large will take you. This does not 
mean that you should brag and boast; but just calmly as- 
sert your power and proper place, without show or osten- 
tation. You might become quite rich, with your disposi- 
tion and talents ; it all depends upon yourself — whether 
you stay poor or rise to the pinnacle of success. You are 
very affectionate, and feel deeply. Do not allow your 
life to be swayed too deeply by your emotions. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Rembrandt, the famous painter. 



JUNE 16. 

You are quiet and rather studious by nature ; a lover 
of books, art, literature, and the theatre. While you are 
fond of nature, for short periods of time, in the summer, 
you do not care for it in the the way many do ; and the 
city is the place in which you should live, as the rush and 



122 Astrological Birthday Book 

'excitement seem to bring out the best in you. Art and 
science have a fascination for you; and anything to do 
with the occult or mysterious has a special claim to your 
attention. You are sensitive and psychic, and take imme- 
diate antipathies or the reverse to people when you meet 
them. You will make a good deal of money in your life ; 
but you will make it all by your own work, and you 
must never look to others for support, or you will invari- 
ably be disappointed. You would do best in partnership, 
and lone ventures in the business -field do not succeed 
with you. You are quite diplomatic and have a good 
deal of tact. If a woman, you are intellectual, quiet and 
reserved ; but you feel things keenly, and are capable of 
deep and lasting love. You have high ideals, and demand 
a great deal from others, in the way of their daily life. 
Remember that everyone has certain failings and if these 
are not in some directions, they will doubtless appear in 
others — since no individual is perfect. Live up to your 
own ideals ; and life will be a success. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Rienzi, the Roman patriot. 



JUNE 17. 

You are naturally rather serious by nature, though 
you have a sense of humor at times, and can see a joke 
with anyone. You are burdened down with the realities 
and cares of the world, as it were; and have a deeply 
religious streak in you. You are direct and outspoken ; 
you are frank, clear-minded and have the courage of 
your convictions. You are sympathetic, and have a love 
for humanity. Others come to you with their troubles, 
very often, and look to you to help them out of all kinds 
of difficulties in which they find themselves. You must 
be careful of your physical health, particularly your lungs, 
which are inclined to be weak; and should stay out of 
doors more than you do, and eat simple, plain food. You 
will probably never become very wealthy; but you wil 



Astrological Birthday Book 123 

be quite comfortably off, later in life, and be enabled to 
live or do very much what you like. You have a loving 
nature, and could be devoted to your home and family. 
If a woman, you are a natural home maker. You are 
a good manager, and can make a little go a long way. 
You are quite ingenious, too, in your management, and 
think of things no one else would ever think of. Pay 
particular attention to your dress, and never allow your- 
self to become careless in your personal appearance. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
John Wesley. 



JUNE 18. 

You have a very variable and moody nature — one 
which you yourself do not understand, at times. You are 
fond of entertainment and amusement ; but on the other 
hand you love to be in complete silence — a tendency 
which will become morbid, if you give it too free play. 
You have a tendency to irritability, which you must learn 
to overcome. You have a natural love for science and 
particularly history; nothing appears more fascinating 
to you than accounts of the early history of the world. 
Never say anything about your neighbor unless you can 
say something kind, for all unkind words and actions 
react upon their originator like boomerangs, and cause 
his own undoing later on. You are loyal, but could be a 
little more (sincere than you are. If a man, you have a 
good deal of force of character, will become a leader, 
and could organize large movements with skill, and carry 
them through successfully. If a woman, you are kind, 
but inclined to be a little cold in your affections. Green, 
red and brown would be good shades for you to wear. 
in all probability; and the diamond and ruby are the 
stones you should aim to possess and wear always close 
to you. Find your life-partner, if possible one who was 
born in the month of July or November. Do not be too 
inquisitive about the affairs of others; everyone's life 



124 'Astrological Birthday Book 

is his own (or her own) and does not directly concern 
anyone but the individual who is living it. You are 
self-assertive, strong and active. Acquire a little more 
generosity, and your character would be richer in con- 
sequence. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
William Lassell, the English astronomer. 



JUNE 19. 

You have a strong, independent disposition, at times 
imperious and unforgiving. You are not quite so demo- 
cratic as you should be, living, as you do in this country. 
Your life is one bound to have varying fortunes; you 
are a real soldier of fortune. You have high aspirations, 
determination and pluck. You are determined to get 
ahead in the world, which you probably will, as nothing 
can stop your own limitations. Learn to utilize spare 
moments, as time is precious. Many forces play upon 
you, but you must learn to master them, to stem the cur- 
rent, and not be carried along by it. Success brings suc- 
cess, and disaster brings disaster. You are a good friend ; 
deep and true in your feelings. You should make a fine 
orator, as you have the voice and presence necessary to 
make a success of this for you. Look for success, and it 
will surely come. Remember that every man has his hour. 
Yours will come. Concentrate your attention on one 
thing at a time. Remember the words of the Talmud: 
"He who studies cannot follow a commercial life; neither 
can the merchant devote his time to study." So choose 
which path you prefer, and follow it. If a woman, you 
are exceptionally loving by nature, deep, loyal and true 
You should have a home of your own, and could make 
the man you marry very happy. Yours will also be a 
happy, contented life. Avoid too much society; and 
health and happiness will be yours. 

Famous Person Born This Day

Astrological Birthday Book 125 

JUNE 20. 
You have a very good business head, and take a 
great interest in money matters. You will doubtless ac- 
quire a good deal of the wealth of this world before you 
die, but unless you are careful happiness will not always 
go with it. Keep your tastes simple; cultivate a desire 
for study and a love of books. You are interested in 
financial things, and will doubtless make a success in 
that direction. You are level-headed and a keen ob- 
server. Do not be too saving with your money, but 
learn to be a little open-handed. As a wise man has 
said: "The house which opens not to the poor will open 
to the physician. You are fond of your food and a 
good bottle of wine — a taste you must be careful of, 
otherwise it may be your undoing, not only from the 
health point of view, but because you may say things 
which had better be left unsaid. For "when wine enters 
the head the secret flies out." You are intuitive, inclined 
to do things your own way, even though this way be 
opposed to the advice of all your friends. You have a 
magnetic personality, but are apt to dream rather than 
act ; you do not sufficiently put your plans into operation. 
You are fond of animals. If a woman, you have good 
taste in dress ; a love of home and are very affectionate, 
especially with children. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Helen M. Gould. 



JUNE 21. 

You are strong, emphatic. You have a deep love of 
knowledge, and science in all its branches appeals to you 
especially. You are clear-sighted, and bordering on 
genius. You have a number of talents, which you must 
learn to make the most of — since it has been said that the 
man who succeeds is he who makes the most of small 
talents. You are imaginative and poetical; very inter- 



126 Astrological Birthday Book 

ested in the psychic and occult. You have a great power 
of concentration, and a firm will. You must learn never 
to speak ill of your neighbors, particularly those who 
can help you or have done so; in other words: "Into 
the well which supplies thee with water cast no stones." 
Never relax in your efforts, or become careless of your 
modes of life. If a man commits a sin twice it no longer 
appears to him a crime. Cultivate your body and mind ; 
in this way success will be attracted to you. You are, 
if a woman, full of merriment, and a good entertainer. 
You are able to come again smiling after receiving many 
mishaps. You are affectionate, and your passional na- 
ture is very strong. You are a good friend, and would 
be a devoted mother. Both men and women born this 
day will come in for money towards middle life, even 
ii they do not have it when young. Always hope for 
the best, prepare for the worst, for in this way is success 
attained. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Alexander von Humboldt. 



JUNE 22. 

You are fond of art, poetry and the drama. The stage 
has always attracted you strongly, and you have marked 
dramatic ability. You have strong imagination, which 
is inclined to run away with you at times. You could 
write well, if you tried; and if so, your work would be 
tinged with mysticism and full of odd happenings and 
imaginings. You are a good talker and an entertaining 
companion. You are fond of nature and the world. 
You probably like painting, and travelling about the 
country, by some means of conveyance, studying the 
people, and like taking life as it comes. You are a great 
traveller, and will see many foreign lands during your 
full and eventful life. You are interested in many sub- 
jects, and have a wide range of information. If a 
woman, you have remarkably good judgment, are fond of 



Astrological Birthday Book 127 

life, and deeply affectionate. You are a natural linguist 
and learn languages very easily. Your taste for color 
and arrangement is very good, and you would excel in 
interior decorations of the house and kindred matters. 
You are sympathetic, yet discriminating. You must be- 
ware of travel, as you will probably meet with a severe 
accident on boat or train, if you do not pay heed to cer- 
tain premonitory warnings which will come to you. 
Do not trust your love too easily, or you will afterwards 
regret it to the full. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Rider Haggard. 



JUNE 23. 

You are fiery and impetuous, mercurial, unsettled, and 
shifting. You are a great traveller, and cannot stay at 
home or for very long in any one place. You are ex- 
tremely fond of music; creative a^d original. Your 
passionate nature is very strongly developed, and you 
must be careful to keep it within bounds otherwise it 
will cause you much harm. If a woman, you are sym- 
pathetic, kind and loving; you demand much of others, 
but you are always ready to give it back to them with 
interest. You are a natural housewife, and fond of 
home and children. You should marry young. You 
are fond of literature, and should make a good short 
story-writer; especially fiction of all kinds would be your 
forte. You are instructive, impressional, and led by your 
feelings rather than your reason, often enough. You are 
strong willed; but too swayed by others to be as inde- 
pendent as you should. You are fond of nature and 
animals; and they like you in return. You have many 
talents. You are fond of good food, good clothes and all 
bodily comforts. As regards women born this day this is 
particularly marked. They love jewelry of all k'nds, 
even cheap jewelry, and have an almost barbaric liking 
for beads and similar adornments. You should have a 



128 Astrological Birthday Book 

clear cut face, a good figure and be very attractive to the 
opposite sex. You must be careful of your health, and 
do not eat too many fatty foods or cut yourself too 
short of beauty sleep. If a man, you would make a good 
actor or public speaker ; though the career of a musician 
is cut out for you. On the whole, a very likeable per- 
sonality. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Rossini, the famous composer. 



JUNE 24. 

You are attractive, clever and have a good deal of 
personal magnetism about you, which makes you a leader 
of men. You are a good talker and conversationalist. 
You are firm, yet gentle. You have a good business head, 
and will succeed in making money. You have a good 
head for detail of all kinds ; yet at the same time you are 
capable of thinking big thoughts, and carrying out big 
enterprises. You are a little too close in money matters, 
and should learn to give gracefully, on occasion, and be 
a little more frank and open in your dealings with others. 
You are fond of collecting things, and one of your chief 
weaknesses is your attachment to material things and 
possessions. In a woman this is more excusable, since 
she has her house to beautify, and naturally loves beauty 
and color more than a man. You are proficient in law 
and finance; you are observing, diligent and have a 
clever mind. You think it a virtue to induce others to 
give rather than to give yourself. Beware ; this is a fault 
which should be eradicated from your nature. If a 
woman, you are probably calm and somewhat calculating. 
This does not mean that you are hard or cynical, it 
means only that your heart will never run away with 
your head. Learn to trust your intuitions more, and 
place reliance in the guidance of your affectional nature. 
It is all there, if you will only give it a chance. You 
are not naturally affectionate, in all probability ; you have 
a good deal of mind and passion, instead. You must 



Astrological Birthday Book 129 

take good care of your health, and particularly your 
lungs, which are your weak spot. Take plenty of exer- 
cise. The first and third months of the year should be 
the fortunate ones for you; and the fifteenth day of 
the month is that on which most of your fortune — good 
or ill — will come upon you. Therefore look out for it 
with care. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Stuyvesant Fish. 



JUNE 25. 

You are two-sided, to yourself, if not to others. One 
side of your nature is strong, active, self-reliant. The 
other is weak, inactive, a dreamer, and a desire to see 
everything about you harmonious and detest a squabble 
more than anything under the sun. You hate to say 
"No!" While this springs very largely from kindness 
remember that the first essential of success is the ability 
to say "No;" and no one who has not learned to say it 
will ever succeed in life. You rather crave honor and 
rewards. You have a good speaking voice, and might 
make a good public speaker. If a woman, the stage will 
probably attract you, and you should be a good emotional 
actress. You are affectionate, and like to have a good 
deal of fuss made over you all the time. At the same 
time, you are shrewd, economical, and take great care 
of details in the matter of expenses. Your motto is 
"Take care of the pennies, and the pounds will take care 
of themselves." If a man, you will probably rise to a 
position of considerable eminence in the world, and 'your 
name will be known to a very large circle of the public. 
You are sensitive to slights, and easily offended. You 
should cultivate greater frankness in speaking to others, 
and if anyone says anything to offend you tell him so at 
once, instead of waiting and brooding over it in silence. 
Rid yourself of shyness, but at the same time, see to it 
that you are not too forward. You will probably have a 



130 Astrological Birthday Book 

fairly easy time of it in life, after a certain age ; and will 
leave a good deal of money when you die. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
C. T. Yerkes, the millionaire. 



JUNE 26. 

You are serious minded, have a good head for figures 
and a very good memory. Science and philosophy at- 
tract you above everything, and you feel, at times, that 
you devote your entire life to the pursuit of these vari- 
ous subjects, in an attempt to discover some hidden 
secret of nature, which no man has as yet unearthed. 
The occult and mysterious attract you, but only in so far 
as you think you can explain it, and .find natural causes 
for the phenomena you see. You are inclined to be cross 
at trifles — a habit from which you must cure yourself. 
Remember Stevenson's estimate : Gentleness and cheerful- 
ness, these are the perfect duties. The man who masters 
himself in these respects conquers the whole world — and 
this is as true of women as of men. You should learn 
to find yourself ; for this once accomplished all else will be 
found to follow of its own accord, and naturally. You 
can love very deeply, and if a woman will make a wonder- 
ful wife and mother, and will be devoted to your home 
and children. You also lavish much affection on your 
partner for life, and will expect as much in return. Do 
not be disappointed if the same kind of love is not al- 
ways returned. In a man, love is always more physical, 
while a woman, it is more aesthetic and spiritual. Take 
this as a matter of course, as a part of our human nature, 
and you would find life much easier and you would be 
happier. If a man, you love detail, have a good head 
for figures, and would make a good mechanic. You are 
fond of music and poetry, and have strong literary 
talents, which you should cultivate. Trust your higher 
self, and live up to it, and all will be well. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Lord Kelvin. 



Astrological Birthday Book 131 

JUNE 27. 

You are more emotional than intellectual in your life 
and interests, and live a good deal in your senses and 
sensations. You are temperamental, and would make 
a fine artist on that account either on the stage or as a 
painter, sculptor or musician. You are very effection- 
ate, your passional nature is strong and you allow your- 
self to be swayed too readily by your feelings, forgetting 
the part of discretion. You should marry young, but 
be very careful in choosing a mate that you pick wisely, 
and let your head help your heart in your selection of a 
life partner. If a woman, you are extravagantly fond of 
clothes, and jewelry trinkets of all kinds. You are in- 
dependent in thought and in action, and can live your own 
life quite contentedly, without help or counsel from 
others. You have a strong imagination, which you must 
keep under control ; otherwise it will lead you into all 
kinds of trouble. There is a strong religious streak in 
your nature. You are fond of reading, and can often 
sit still for a whole day at a time, reading and pondering 
over things you have read. You are fond of a good 
time, and like entertaining, and having a number of 
friends about you all the time. You are exact and me- 
thodical, and tidy in all that you do. You are affection- 
ate, tender and true. On the whole a very charming and 
winsome personality. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Charles XII, of Sweden. 



JUNE 28. 

You are a good observer of humanity, which interests 
you immensely. You are caustic at times, and cynical, but 
have a fund of humor, which keeps you entertained, 
and all those in immediate touch with you. You are 
bright and very good company. You are large-hearted, 
generous and sympathetic. You have strong literary 
talent, and should be enabled to write fiction, essays or 



132 'Astrological Birthday Book 

poetry. You are musical, and ought to play some in- 
strument, probably not the piano. You are a good mimic 
and a good actor. You are fond of your food and drink, 
and a natural Bohemian in your tastes. If a woman, you 
are extremely fond of your home, however, and would 
make a splendid mother. You are artistic, and display 
great originality and taste in your dress, or in the decora- 
tion of a hat, etc. You would not make a good man or 
woman in business, in all probability, as your tastes and 
talents do not lie in that direction. You might make 
quite a success if you took someone into partnership 
with you. You do not use your mind enough, and should 
cultivate the art of concentration more fully. The 17th 
of October will prove a fortunate day for you, and 
on this date you may look for one of the strangest and 
most important events in your life to happen. Cultivate 
greater independence and strength of purpose, and you 
should make life a great success. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

J. J. Rousseau, the famous French author. 



JUNE 29. 

You are one of those moody, dreamy people who live 
on ideals and possibilities rather than the actualities of 
life. You are always hoping that something will turn 
up, and make life easy for you; but it never will, unless 
you set the ball a rolling yourself by your own efforts. 
You are quick tempered, and alive to slights and any- 
thing which affects your sensibilities. You are senti- 
mental, without being foolish about it, but are capable 
of strong and lasting love, and demand a good deal from 
others in this respect. This is a subject which never 
grows old to you; you ponder over the subject, and are 
never tired of thinking about it. You are very fond of 
travel, and will probably see a good deal of the world 
before you have finished your life. The Orient especially 
attracts you and the gorgeous East, with its golden sun- 



Astrological Birthday Book 133 

sets and rich apparel. You have good judgment, but 
more especially for the affairs of others than for your 
own. You are distinctly literary, and ought to make your 
way in the world as a man or woman of letters. The 
occult and mysterious have a great fascination for you, 
and you are probably more or less psychic or sensitive 
yourself. Cultivate greater self control and a stronger 
will and purpose. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Rubens, the famous artist. 



JUNE 30. 

You are distinctly literary and artistic — this stands out 
above all else in the delineation of your character. You 
are self-reliant, and have a pretty strong will? You are 
generally successful in what you undertake, and people 
learn to trust and rely upon you, knowing that your work 
is as good as if it were done. You have a clear vision 
about life and things generally, and are probably quite 
popular with the set in which you move. You possess a 
happily balanced temperament between intellect on the 
one hand and emotion on the other. Like Caesar, you 
must beware of the "ides of March." Your life seems 
to run in cycles ; sometimes, you are very successful, at 
others very much the reverse. Learn to bide your time, 
avoiding the unsuccessful periods, and prepare quitely 
for the times when things seem to be going your way. 
Do not attempt too much at the unfavorable periods. 
You are very affectionate, but have a good sense of 
humor; are full of fun, and are very popular. You are 
fond of reading. Also, probably, you are fond of out- 
door games and sports of all kinds. You should have a 
good singing voice, which deserves cultivation. You are 
probably a good conversationalist, but if you are too 
retiring you should cultivate the art of expression, as 
this is very useful at times. Pay strict attention to your 
dress, and never allow yourself to fall below the level 



134 'Astrological Birthday Book 

which you know is your best. You will probably inherit 
a considerable sum of money between your twentieth 
and twenty-fifth years; if not, about thirty-six. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Celia Thaxter, the noted American poet. 



JULY 1. 

You are calm, sincere and naturally scientific in your 
tastes. You are fond of mechanics, and ought to be 
clever at figures. You have a keen insight into the 
suffering of humanity, and this would make you inter- 
ested in politics on the one hand, medicine on the Other. 
You might be cut out for a physician and surgeon, 
or if a woman, for a nurse. You have a great deal 
of tact and patience. You are funny at times, and 
always have a keen sense of humor. You speak well, 
and might make a public lecturer. If a woman, you have 
good taste, are artistic and dramatic, and display judg- 
ment and ability. You are attractive to the opposite sex ; 
and fond of their society. They are fond of you, too, 
and you are probably quite popular with young and old. 
You are intuitive and should learn to trust these im- 
pressions more fully. You have have a good bump of 
order, and dislike seeing anything out of its place. You 
should not live alone too much, as you have a tendency 
to become morbid. Live with someone, if you can; or 
get married fairly young. Cultivate concentration and 
determination. You know what you can do; what is 
within you to accomplish. Make up your mind that 
nothing will stop you from accomplishing this; and suc- 
cess will ultimately be yours in large measure. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Robert Ball, the English astronomer. 



JULY 2. 

You have a restless, roving disposition, which will 
cause you to travel a great deal, and probably see all 



Astrological Birthday Book 135 

parts of the world. You are fond of excitement, and 
nothing annoys you more than a regular hum-drum life, 
in which nothing of interest happens from one year to 
another. For this reason a city would be far better for 
you than the country, for which you are not fitted. You 
are quiet and reserved, and quite capable of keeping a 
secret. If you are at all inclined to think or say unkind 
things about other people, you should eradicate this from 
your nature as the worst fault you possess. It is moral 
murder — of that person's reputation — as much as physica; 
murder is the killing of that person's physical body. You 
are strong minded, and have a good deal of determina- 
tion. You have a good deal of natural business ability 
and should make a success in this direction. You are 
capable of handling large enterprises, and one of your 
talent ought to make a considerable sum of money before 
he dies — enough to travel anywhere you want to and do 
as you please. You are strong in your emotions and the 
passional side of your nature is rather fully developed. 
This is true of women born this day as well as men. The 
latter display skill, tact, patience and would make ex- 
cellent wives, and good life companions. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

R. H. Stoddard, the noted poet. 



JULY 3. 

You are independent, and quiet and reserved. You 
are almost too retiring, and should be more willing to 
come forward and share your inner life with others. 
True, they do not have the same thoughts and the same 
interest as you do, as a rule, but you must not become 
self-centered for all that. Learn to be happy. It is a 
duty in life. Happiness adds life, power and worth to 
all your talents and powers. It is most important, there- 
fore, that every moment should be full of joy. While 
you are waiting for an oportunity to improve your time, 
improve yourself. You will travel much, and see a lot 



136 Astrological Birthday Book 

of the world. You will be fairly successful in business. 
You have marked literary and musical talent. If a 
woman, the stage is eminently suited for you, and you 
would make an undoubted success as an actress. Your 
love of nature is very deep and it is hard for you to show 
this side of yourself to another. Learn to speak openly 
and frankly. Be strong. A man who would become 
great must live a great life. Learn to see however, at 
the same time the humorous side of things. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Samuel Huntington, the American patriot. 



JULY 4. 

You are a strong and self-controlled individuality; one 
never afraid of anything and quite capable of governing 
your own life, without help from outside sources. You 
are literary, and should write well. You are intellectual, 
intuitional and exceedingly fond of the psychic and 
mystic. You are never tired of dabbling and investigat- 
ing along these lines. You are fond of philosophy and 
history. You have failed several times in your life, in 
things which you have attempted but this should not dis- 
courage you. The fact that you have failed to get the 
lesser yet may prove conclusively that you deserve the 
greater. Know what you want and continue to want it. 
You will get it if you combine desire with faith. You 
will probably have many strange experiences in your 
life, in many strange places in the world — some of which 
you will never tell to anyone. You must remember that 
other people have talents too, although they may be very 
different from yours. Learn to look on life in a broad 
way, seeing in it many persons of many differing tem- 
peraments. If a woman, you are clear-headed, have good 
judgment, and would make a splendid and reliable help- 
mate. You have good common-sense.. At the same time, 
you are especially attractive to men, there being some- 
thing intangible about you which they all like. You are 



Astrological Birthday Book 137 

not superficially affectionate, but are capable of loving 
deeply, should you ever decide to give your heart to 
anyone. You should inherit some money some time in 
your life ; at all events you will have it before you die. 
Famous Person Born This Day 
Nathaniel Hawthorne. 



JULY 5. 

Yours is a many-sided, varied life, containing many 
ups and downs. On the whole you will get much more 
out of life than the majority, however. You have a 
great deal of natural talent and ability as a writer and 
speaker. Yours will be an eventful life. You are fasci- 
nated by the occult and anything which pertains to the 
occult. You yourself are probably somewhat psychic. 
You are never beaten, for the more often failure comes, 
the more determined are you to succeed. You are kind 
to others — at times too kind, and advantage is taken of 
your sympathy. You believe in yourself, with justice, as 
everything depends upon yourself. You have good busi- 
ness judgment, and will undoubtedly make a success in 
this direction, when you set up in business for yourself. 
You are too independent to work for others. You are 
always busy, and do not let the grass grow under your 
feet. Although you pretend not to care for the opposite 
sex, the attraction is there, nevertheless, and comes out 
every now and then, when you least expect it. If a 
woman, you are a student of the lives of others; and 
one to whom others go in times of trouble. You are 
loving and fond of your own home. You should marry 
one born in the months of April, October or December, 
by preference. Monday is always your best day on 
which to undertake any new enterprise. Pink, cream 
colored materials and light blues are the colors you 
should wear. Be more entertaining and spontaneous in 
your manner ; it will win you many more admirers. 
Famous Persons Born This Day

138 Astrological Birthday Booh 

JULY 6. 

You are loyal, generous and true. You have a keen 
interest and sympathy for the sufferings of others, which 
will probably make you, if a man, interested in socialism 
and kindred subjects. You are fond of reading, and 
like especially philosophy and books, on New Thought, 
etc. There is a distinctly religious streak in your nature. 
Your amorous nature is strong, and you desire much 
association with the opposite sex, of which you never 
seem tired. You feel deeply. You are not sufficiently 
awake to opportunities which are presented to you from 
time to time. Remember that you have to take time by 
the forelock. You are fond of the country, yet also fond 
of the buzz and excitement of a great city. If a man, 
you have distinct mechanical ability, and might make a 
success of aviation or in some field calling for special 
knowledge and training. If a woman, you are very 
emotional, and fall in love easily. You are quite a flirt 
and inclined to carry your heart on your sleeve. You are 
extremely fond of dress and color in all its form is a 
delight to you. You are tasteful in arranging things, 
and would keep your home as neat as wax if you had 
one. At the same time, you like going out to dinner 
and for a good time. You must learn to take life a 
little more seriously and remember that you are alive 
for a definite purpose, as well as just to enjoy yourself. 
Look on the sunny side of everything and never allow 
yourself to fall in despondency or gloom. It can easily 
he done, if you only set about it. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Paul Jones. 



JULY 7. 

You are careful and cautious in all your undertakings. 
You have a good business head, and should accumulate 
a good deal of money before you die by saving and your 
natural business shrewdness. At the same time, you are 



Astrological Birthday Book 139 

kind and sympathetic, and help those who are in trouble 
or distress. You are fond of music, though you may 
not be able to play any instrument yourself. You are 
rather curious and inclined a little too much to inquire 
into the affairs of others. You must take care of your 
health, which is delicate, and eat simple, nourishing food, 
instead of too many sweet things and heavy dishes. You 
are rather matter of fact, and not easily moved to mirth 
or any excitement. Do not worry, as everything in your 
life will certainly come out for the best. Do not marry 
too young, and on the other hand do not wait until you 
have got set in your ways, and unable to change. If a 
woman, you are cautious, timid, and afraid of the dark. 
You are fond of animals; artistic and literary. You 
would make a good nurse, and a splendid wife and 
mother. Learn to be a little more enthusiastic over 
things, and greater happiness will be yours. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

William E. Mason, the American Philanthropist. 



JULY 8. 

You are shrewd and calculating in business transac- 
tions, and have a long head in all affairs calling for 
business brains. You are cool and do not get easily dis- 
turbed over trifles. You are not naturally enthusiastic, 
but rather reserved. You will travel a great deal, and are 
probably fond of the water. You should be fond of 
athletics and all outdoor sports and pastimes. You are 
fond of life and should marry fairly young. You have 
good judgment and a clear head. At times, you are in- 
clined to be morbid and depressed. Do not allow this to 
influence you : forget the mistakes of the past and look 
only to the future. Cultivate cheerfulness. Look at the 
sunny side of everything. Develop a hobby in life and 
develop your interest in this. If a woman, you are 
only contented with the best of everything. You want 
good clothes, good food, good jewelry. None of the 



140 Astrological Birthday Booh 

cheap, tawdry gems for you. Yet you are not unduly 
extravagant. If you find yourself running to that ex- 
treme, you must stop this worst of all feminine faults. 
You are capable of loving, but your head never lets your 
heart get very far away. Live nearer to your ideals; 
and life would be far happier and richer for you. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

John D. Rockefeller. 



JULY 9. 

You are independent in thought, and live your own life 
— irrespective of the lives of others. You are a keen in- 
vestigator and are strongly drawn to the psychic and 
occult. You "sense" things which others never seem to 
feel, and are governed a good deal by your impressions 
and intuitions. You are original and inventive. You 
have an inner life, which no one else ever seems to 
reach, within you ; and into the holy of holies you retire, 
alone, to think out the problems of life, and contemplate, 
in silent meditation, upon your own life and the fate of 
others. You are literary, and should be enabled to write. 
You like good clothes but are not obsessed by them at all 
— like so many women of your acquaintance. You have 
a good business head, and will make a success in this 
direction, if you stick to it, and do not allow yourself to 
be cast down by the slights and difficulties you en- 
counter. You pass through a good deal of mental 
anguish in your life, due to over sensitiveness on your 
part. Learn that other people, whose skins are thicker 
than yours, do not mean things as they sound to you. 
You will travel much and see all parts of the world. 
You are attractive to the opposite sex, by reaaan of your 
piquant sadness and sincerity of manner. Cultivate a 
sense of humor; be open and frank and take good care 
of your physical health. You need to become strong and 
robust, before all else. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Florence Marryat, the famous authoress. 



Astrological Birthday Booh 141 

JULY 10. 

Born this day, you have a rather stern and rigid dis- 
position. You have a good deal of the school-master 
about you, if not of the tyrant. Your way is the only way 
in which anything can be done, you believe! While it is 
often a good way, there are others ; and you must never 
think that there are not many other competent men or 
women in the world besides yourself ! You are consci- 
ously vain ; but self satisfied. There is a strong religious 
trend to your nature, and you are inclined to be narrow 
and dogmatic in your belief. You have good logic, and 
good business ability. You will doubtless accumulate a 
good deal of money before you die. Learn to be more 
open-handed, when you have accquired it; as "the Lord 
loves a cheerful giver." If a woman, you are inclined 
to be timid, retiring and tender. You would make an 
excellent wife and be fond of your home and children. 
You are fond of dress, and like society. You talk rather 
too much for your own good. Learn to think more 
deeply, to concentrate, and read good books. Life will 
then mean and hold much more for you. You are fond 
of the theatre, and this will form a healthy distraction 
for you. Pay less attention to the faults of commission 
and look more at the faults of omission. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

John Calvin, the reformer. 



JULY 11. 

You have a good and clear business head, and are 
clear brained. You are naturally kind to those about you ; 
•but you cannot bear anyone making a fool of you. You 
should be successful, particularly in partnership. You 
are progressive and determined. You have a great deal 
of originality, and often take people by storm by your 
witty and original sayings. You are a good mimic and 
have a singing voice. You are not as fond of literary 
and scientific pursuits as you should be; you prefer the 



142 Astrological Birthday Book 

lighter side of life, which is all very well in its way, 
but the serious side must have its innings also. You 
are interested in politics, if a man, and might make a 
good public speaker. If a woman, this will quite possibly 
lead you on to the stage for a time, as you have distinct 
ability in that direction. You are fond of clothes, and 
never tire of trying them on and contrasting the combin- 
ations of various shades and colors. You are sincere and 
affectionate — almost too much so for your own good! 
Cultivate your mind more and greater self-restraint. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 
John Quincy Adams and Wanamaker. 



OULY 12. 

You are a natural student, a deep thinker, original and 
quiet. You have yourself well in hand. You have a 
good voice and are naturally persuasive. For this rea- 
son, if you are a man, you would make a good lawyer. 
You have a good head for business, and will doubtless 
succeed in that direction, and make a great deal of money 
before you leave to enter "pastures new." You love ex- 
citement, and are always on the lookout for something 
which will give you a new sensation or a new "thrill. 
You are original, and would make a splendid inventor. 
Be careful, however, if you enter this field, that you do 
not fall into the hands of scheming men who will steal 
your ideas, and leave you "high and dry," without a 
cent. You are fond of animals, and they^fre fond of 
you. -You are a home lover, and nothing pleases you 
more than settling down in a cozy corner with a book 
and someone near you, of whom you are very fond. If 
a woman, you are fond of children, and have a great 
deal of patience and natural tact with them. You are 
fond of clothes, but not unduly so. You are clever and 
can strike a good bargain. You have a natural flow of 
language, and letter-writing or talking is easy to you. 



Astrological Birthday Book 143 

You are very affectionate — even amorous — and you must 
keep guard over yourself in this direction. Cultivate 
strength of will and self-reliance, and all will go well 
with you. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Comte de Gasparin, noted French scientist. 



JULY 13. 

You have strong common sense, and are firm in your 
ideas and opinions. You are naturally aristocratic and 
refined in your tastes, but you are democratic all the 
same. You have a strong desire for learning, and are 
quite a bookworm, at times. But the practical side of 
things does not escape your notice. You have a great 
love of travel; you like odd and unexplored places, 
and if you travel in a foreign country, you would natural- 
ly care for the out-of-the-way and little-known places, 
which the ordinary tourist would skip in his travels. 
You are extremely musical, and should succeed as a 
performer upon some instrument. You ought to make a 
natural doctor; or, if a woman, a fine nurse. You are 
poetic and love beautiful scenery and color. You are 
literary in your tastes, and should practice the art of 
writing, as you could certainly succeed, if you made up 
your mind to. You are naturally quick and adaptable. 
You have great power for love, and are not at all a flirt by 
nature. Yet you are fond of the world and the things 
of the world, and can be lively and entertaining on oc- 
casion. Yet you always feel that you have an inner life 
within you which no one can ever reach or touch, un- 
less, perhaps, the one comes along who can understand 
and appreciate everything. Your life is marked out for 
a good deal of material success. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
John Jacob Astor, lost on the Titanic. 



144 Astrological Birthday Book 

JULY 14. 

Your nature is simple, child-like and trusting. If you 
have been changed, it is the result of cruel disillusion- 
ments, and you are living in a world which is not natural 
to you, and not one of your own choice. You must 
break away from an environment which is hopelessly 
unpleasant and unsuited to you, for you will never be 
happy till you do. You are sympathetic and kindly. 
There is a strong religious streak in your nature, even 
amounting to a tinge of dogmatism. You have strong 
convictions, and generally live up to them. You are fond 
of art, and especially so of pictures. If a woman, the 
maternal instinct is very strong with you, and you are 
a natural home maker and beautifier. You are fond 
of the country, and the blaze and noise of big cities does 
not appeal to you for longer than short periods at a time. 
You are sincere, and not the least bit of a flirt. You 
should excel in decoration of all kinds, whether it be of a 
home or a landscape. Pink, blue and white are the 
colors most becoming to you. The ruby and diamond 
are the stones you should wear, by preference. You 
must avoid, above all things, the habit of saying un- 
pleasant things about your neighbors, as this is one of 
the meanest traits a man or woman can possess. Live 
up to your natural sincerity, and your life should be full 
of happiness. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Johann Muller, head of the famous^lnstitution, in 
England. 



JULY 15. 

You are a good "mixer," and should have the faculty 
of making and keeping friends of all kinds. You have 
a pleasant voice, and are a good speaker. If a man, you 
should enter politics, as this is the field best suited to 
you. You have also a good business head, but are a 
dreamer in your early youth, which you outgrow as you 



Astrological Birthday Book 145 

become more practical in later life. You have a keen 
sense of humor, and this is a saving grace which will 
help you out of many difficulties, as you will find. You 
are somewhat sensitive and psychic, but it would not be 
wise, probably, for you to give way to this. You are 
an extremest in all you do and think. You are fond of 
the good things of this life, and must be careful of your 
health, which you will be in danger of undermining un- 
less you pay more attention to it than you usually do. 
You will have great success along certain lines, but 
whether it is financially or not depends upon whether 
you make it your chief interest in life. You are affec- 
tionate and should be very popular. Be open, frank and 
honest, and yours will prove to be a long and prosperous 
life. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Thomas C. Platt, President American Express Co. 



JULY 16. 

You have a strong nature, if born this day, and are 
inclined to be imperious and commanding to those about 
you. You have a strong will, and generally make things 
come round your way. You have strong passions and 
strong emotions ; and if you were as frank as you appear 
to be, things would be better for your inner soul life. 
Unfortunately, however, you are a little sly and double- 
faced in this direction. Not that you are so consciously, 
so that you are hurtful to others in any way. Simply, 
there is another self working within you which you 
cannot always master, and which is not as noble as the 
one you would like to express. You have a strongly 
religious temperament, and live a good deal by faith. 
You have a good business head, and seldom "get left" on 
a business transaction. You have strong literary ability. 
If you are a woman, you are stern, rather cold and a 
great disciplinarian. Learn the softer qualities of 



146 Astrological Birthday Book 

womanhood, and the great lesson that kindness and a 
gentle word here and there often means more than 
charity or justice, as meted out by the ounce or by the 
scales of the Law. Let your heart govern your head 
more. You are artistic and doubtless very fond of color 
and music. You will travel much before you die. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 

Mrs. Eddy and Sir Joshua Reynolds. 



JULY 17. 

You have a great deal of personal magnetism about 
you, and attract people to you wherever you go. You are 
an idealist, and live in a world you create for yourself 
rather in the world as it actually exists. At the same 
time, you are no absolute dreamer. You can be very 
practical when you want to be, and have a great deal 
of force and determination when you focus your mind 
on a thing. You have a long business head ; and a great 
idea of your own position and rights. You are not by 
nature affectionate, rather you are cold and critical ; yet 
your passional nature is strong. If a woman, you have 
a liking for club and public life, and a keen sense of 
justice and law. You are a strong nature, and have no 
use for the weak and clinging individuals, not realizing 
that they have their peculiar qualities, perhaps, which 
you lack. You should not marry young, if at all, and 
the ordinary humdrum of everyday life would not suit 
you at all. You are literary and might make a fine 
lecturer. Financial success will doubtless be yours, as 
you have the ability to swerve people and make them 
do your bidding in a remarkable degree. You have a 
naturally strong head; let your heart have greater sway 
and influence over your life. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Johst Jacob Astor, founder of the family of million- 
aires. 



Astrological Birthday Book 147 

JULY 18. 

You are active and dynamic and have a great deal of 
energy to put into something — whether it be mental or 
physical pursuits. You have power and concentration. 
You should attain success at whatever you apply your- 
self to. You are doubtless strong in body, and a lover of 
sports and outdoor games of all kinds. You are very 
intellectual, and a great reader and lover of books. 
Science and philosophy attract you especially. You are 
an indefatigable worker, and never tire of doing those 
things which interest you. Men and women born this 
day differ a great deal in style and temperament. If a 
woman, you are probably calm, serene and delicate. You 
are loving, and domestic. You are fond of clothes and 
the society of men, and are rather a "fluffy" person, 
without being light or eccentric in any way. You are 
fond of a good time, and not given to intellectual pur- 
suits. The stage will probably exert an irrestible attrac- 
tion for you. You rather admire your own type of 
beauty, and have an unending desire to dress up and 
look at yourself in a mirror in various costumes — and 
no costumes ! You are imaginative, musical and pleasure- 
loving. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Dr. Paul Carus and W. G. Grace, the famous 
cricketer. 



JULY 19. 

You are strong and self-poised. You are sufficient 
unto yourself. You have certain whims and caprices; 
but they are your own, and you are not readily influenced 
by the views of others. You are a disciplinarian, and if 
a man would doubtless be attracted to the army. You are 
capable of undergoing many hardships, and nothing de- 
ters you from a certain course of action, once your mind 
is made up to undertake it. You have a roving nature, 
which will take you to all parts of the earth. You want 



148 Astrological Birthday Book 

to see everything and do everything before you die. You 
are affectionate, and your love nature is strongly marked. 
If a woman, you have a great deal of character and 
poise. You are literary, a club woman and fond of 
society. In dress, you probably prefer plain tailor-made 
suits to suits involving much frills and furbelows. You 
are a good talker and a splendid hostess. You take a 
pride in your home. You are a capable manager, and 
love making the most out of anything placed in your 
hands. You are lively and good company. You might 
have a good singing voice. In love affairs, you are 
strong in your feelings, slow to make attachments, but 
hold to them, when once formed. Yours should be a life 
full of stirring events, and one full of promise, which it 
only depends upon yourself to fulfill. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Julius Caesar. 



JULY 20. 

You have a good mind — which, however, is rather apt 
to become engrossed in a lot of trivial things instead of 
concentrating itself on one thing of great interest and 
value. You have a weak side to your nature which it is 
hard to delineate; perhaps you yourself do not know. 
This you must learn to guard against, and if you 
strengthen this part, you will have a well rounded, cap- 
able and strong personality. You are literary and fond 
of books. Your interests probably lie in odd and out-of- 
the-way things, and for this reason you will not make 
much money until later on in life, when you determine 
to lay these aside for a time, and devote yourself to the 
practical side of life. You are possibly retiring and back- 
ward in the society of the opposite sex; but this you 
should learn to overcome. You do not utilize enough 
the great opportunities which are about you or make use 
of your own latent powers and potentialities. If a 
woman, you are doubtless very attractive to the opposite 



Astrological Birthday Book 149 

sex; and would make an ideal wife and home-maker. 
For a husband, choose one, if possible, born in December 
or January — though this may be offset by other consider- 
ations. You should wear good clothes, and pay strict at- 
tention to your personal appearance — never letting your- 
self appear to your husband or to anyone else except at 
your best. Use your will; success is easily attained by 
one such as you. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Sir Clements Markham, the famous English geog- 
rapher. 



JULY 21. 

You have shrewd common sense, and are very intuitive. 
You would do well to follow these intuitions more, and 
accept the advice of others less. You are good at argu- 
ment, and this would fit you for the law, at which you 
would make an undoubted success. You will be more 
or less successful at whatever you undertake, and it is 
rare to find one of your nature who does not die well 
off. You have good executive ability, and can manage 
others and their affairs so well that rapid advance should 
be yours. You are eminently level-headed, and what the 
Scotch would call "canny." You are rather a materialist, 
and love the things of this world. If a woman, you take 
a delight in your home, and are rather a flirt. You do not 
realize enough the harm which is often done by what is 
to you, but a harmless flirtation. Beware that no ill 
consequences follow any of these escapades. Yet you £ 
are loving and sympathetic, and would not willingly hurt 
anybody. You are a lover of justice, and cannot bear 
to see the weaker oppressed by the stronger. You must 
learn to finish one thing before beginning another, and 
you have a fault of attempting too many things at once. 
Learn the value of concentration ; that only by this means 
are great things accomplished in this life. One must 



150 Astrological Birthday Book 

make certain sacrifices in order to attain an end, and if 
your lot seems hard for the time being, remember that 
this is for your own best good in the long run. Strive; 
and never stop working! 

Famous Person Born This Day 

General David Hunter, of U. S. Civil War fame. 



JULY 22. 

You are a calm, strong character, one which a friend 
can trust to do exactly as you say you will. You feel 
things keenly, and are very cast down when you are 
disappointed in one whom you esteemed highly. You 
are practical and executive, energetic and a great worker. 
You are frank and true. At times you are moody, and 
then you are depressed so much that you hardly know 
what to do with yourself. You have decided literary 
talent. You are quiet and reserved. You have a way 
of going ahead and doing things without telling any- 
thing about them until they are done. If a woman, you 
are warm and emotional ; living largely in your sensa- 
tions and impressions, and not always as rational as you 
might be. You are, however, loving and demonstrative, 
and perhaps a little "kittenish" at times. You might 
make a very happy marriage if you married young; but 
do not let passion alone rule your choice of a mate. 
You are not always understood; and many of your best 
thoughts and actions are often misinterpreted. You 
should be blessed with many of the material comforts 
of this life, and you will doubtless travel a great deal. 
The 27th of November will prove one of the happiest 
days of your life. Thursdays are good days for you to 
begin any new enterprise. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Ovid, the famous Roman poet. 



Astrological Birthday Book 151 

JULY 23. 

Born this day, you are very self-reliant, determined 
and self-confident. You like excitement of all kinds, 
and are never so happy as when you are "stirring up a 
hornet's nest'' of some kind. To you the motto, "Any 
means to an End" is a good one. You get your teeth 
in a thing, and nothing can induce you to take them out. 
You have good taste, and display originality in many 
ways. You have an eye for color, and would make a 
good decorator or designer. You probably have a 
"sweet tooth" and like candy to an unusual degree. You 
have a splendid mind, and are fond of intellectual pur- 
suits. You are religious, but not orthodox. You have 
literary ability. You are imaginative, but not unduly so. 
You have a good head for details, and are naturally 
executive. You are magnetic and can persuade others, 
and convert them to your views. Much of this is true 
of women born this day also. They are charming and 
attractive, and possess an unusal amount of vigor and 
vitality, which render them attractive to the opposite 
sex. You are frank, open and true. A charming in- 
dividuality, as a rule. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 

Cardinal Gibbons and Dr. Albert Shaw. 



JULY ?A. 

You are strongly imaginative, kind, impressional, en- 
thusiastic. You are fond of color and warmth ; and can- 
not endure people who are lazy or who enjoy a sort of 
half existence, like molluscs or fish. You must always be 
up and doing. You take a great interest in humanity, 
and understand the motives which govern human nature 
remarkably. You are an excellent judge of character. 
You have a marvellous memory, which only needs train- 
ing and exercise to render it truly phenomenal. You 
are very fond of your food and drink, and of all the 



152 Astrological Birthday Book 

good things of this life. You are intuitive, and inter- 
ested in all things relating to the psychic, occult or 
mysterious. These subjects have always had a secret 
fascination for you. You are probably interested in odd 
things, such as handwriting, physiognomy, etc. You are 
original and inventive. You are kind and sympathetic. 
If a woman, you are extremely emotional, and your pas- 
sions are strong. You probably have a high color, and are 
full of form. You have a keen sense of humor. You 
are intellectual and fond of home and home comforts. 
Orange and red are your colors. The ruby and emerald 
are your stones. Always beware of acting impulsively 
or impetuously, as this is your nature. You lack con- 
centration. 

Famous Person Bom This Day 

Alexander Dumas, Sr., the noted author. 



JULY 25. 

You have a good deal of all-round talent in various 
directions. You are literary, artistic, scientific and have 
a certain dramatic gift which renders you an all-round 
person. You are sensible and democratic. You have a 
good speaking voice and should be able to speak in 
public. You have a very quick temper, and are apt to 
fly off the handle at trifles, unless you have learned to 
keep yourself under control. Remember that a few 
words said at such a time may wreck your whole life 
and the happiness of another. You have a good deal 
of personal magnetism, and might be a leader wherever 
you go. You doubtless have a good deal of psychic 
power. At the same time, you are distinctly practical 
and will doubtless make a success of this life in £ 
material way. You are imaginative, and responsive t~> 
the ideas of others. Cultivate a greater sense of humor, 
which is often helpful in the battle of life. If a woman, 
you are rather inclined to see the faults of others, a 
habit which you should eradicate above all else. You 



Astrological Birthday Book 153 

are talented and a good musician. Beware of anyone 
having a slight cast in his eye, as your whole future 
happiness depends upon avoiding what he proposes to 
you. You are affectionate, and demand a good deal of 
this devotion in return from the object of your adora- 
tion. You probably have symbolic dreams, which you 
should take some pains to have interpreted by an expert. 
Pay particular attention to any warnings given you in 
this way. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Rt. Hon. A. J. Balfour. 



JULY 26. 

You have a whole-souled generous nature, which is 
open handed in all that it does. You see the better 
side of things and of people, and make the least you can 
of unpleasant events. You have a tendency to "laugh 
and grow fat." You are kind and sympathetic, and 
have a distinct leaning and tendency towards socialism 
and kindred movements. You have a simple nature, 
but you are not easily taken in, all the same, in a busi- 
ness transaction. You are a good conversationalist and 
popular wherever you go. You have a knack of doing 
a lot of work without appearing to do anything at all. 
You are a great hustler; and have an untiring fund of 
energy. If a woman, you are liberal in the things about 
the house, and if you see anyone in great distress, your 
impulse is to help them at once without stopping to 
inquire who they are or how they came into that position. 
You will have several good positions offered you during 
your life, but you will probably make a greater success 
by yourself. Your personality will win out; and you 
will make a great deal of money before you die. You 
will travel much, and enjoy yourself wherever you go. 
You are very loving in your nature, and seek the same 
in return. 

Famous Person Born This Day

sity.

JULY 27. 

You have rather a fiery, impetuous nature, which it 
is hard for you at times to keep under control. You 
will have many ups and downs in life, many hard battles, 
especially with yourself, but you will be victorious, if 
only you determine to undergo certain periods of un- 
pleasantness, in order to obtain the "palm of glory" at 
the end. You have two sides to your nature ; two selves, 
which are very different. You are fond of literary 
pursuits, art, music and the drama. You are rather too 
fond of the good things of this life — eating and drinking, 
etc. Be careful that this does not lead to your downfall. 
Learn the value and power of habit — either good or bad. 
You are original and spontaneous, and, if a woman, this 
faculty will make you popular by reason of the amusing 
things you are led to say on occasion. If you wish to 
succeed, you must learn the value of money, and how 
to save. If you do this, you will attain great returns 
in the long run. You are magnetic and have a peculiar- 
ly fascinating personality to the opposite sex, who trust 
you — sometimes too much. Above all; learn to con- 
centrate ! 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Archimedes, the famous mathematician. 



JULY 28. 

You are impetuous and quick to anger. You have 
strong intuitions and impulses. You have a mercurial 
temperament — which sometimes runs away with you. 
You are emotional and feel things keenly. Above all, 
you have marked dramatic ability, and the stage attracts 
and fascinates you. You might make a brilliant success, 
if you ever decided to go before the footlights. You 
have a good deal of natural ability as an elocutionist, 
and are doubtless a fine mimic. You are at times rather 
embittered with life, and something of an iconoclast. 
You cannot stand humbug and cant in anything or any- 



Astrological Birthday Book 155 

body. You are too straightforward for that. You take 
a great interest in peoples' lives, and this is to you a 
topic of never-failing interest. You have odd dreams, 
which sometimes terrify you; but you should not pay 
too much heed to them as, in your case, they do not have 
the signifiance they do for many others. You will travel 
much and come in for a considerable sum of money 
before middle life. The latter part of your life will be 
very happy, the earlier years stand a chance of being 
marred, unless you are especially careful in your ac- 
tions — particularly towards a certain person. Remember 
that every day begins a new life; and it is your duty 
to forget all the unpleasant things of the past, and be 
happy and bright. Determine that you will, and "all 
else shall be added unto you." 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Mary Anderson, the noted actress. 



JULY 29. 

You are inclined to be pessimistic and cynical. You 
have moods, in which everything seems dark to you, and 
you see no beauty or cheer in anything. Yet the next 
day you may be again intoxicated with the joy of living! 
These moods of depression are largely induced by states 
of health, and you must pay particular attention to this, 
and be careful that you avoid all rich, greasy, heavy 
food, and keep the liver active with acid fruits and 
plenty of exercise. You are strongly drawn to the 
strange and the weird. Everything of an odd and out 
of the way nature fascinates you. You are fond of old 
ruins and castles and any places where the great once 
lived and loved — such as Egypt, Greece, Rome, etc. You 
are poetical, and might write good verse, if you ever 
set yourself seriously to do so. You are naturally 
scientific, and you apply this to all you do^even to life 
and the lives and motives of others. Learn the great 



156 Astrological Birthday Book 

lesson that too great exactness and analysis destroys 
naturalness and spontaneity, and hence robs life of half 
its charms. You desire to better conditions, and are 
constantly protesting against the world as you find it. 
You are curious and have a thirst for knowledge which 
is not easily satisfied. You have a good business head, 
and you will doubtless succeed, by reason of your ability 
for organization and control, when once organized. You 
are kind and loving; but very exacting in your require- 
ments. If a woman, you are inclined to be imperious, 
haughty and to have a good opinion of yourself. This is 
not altogether unjustified, but it is not a desirable quality 
to possess nevertheless. Stop it! 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Max Nordau. the noted author and scientist. 



JULY 30. 

Born this day, you have a keen sense of humor, which 
sees something funny in neary everything that transpires. 
You are good hearted and generally happy. You are 
literary in your tastes, and have a love of poetry. You 
are adaptable, and can make friends equally well with 
a great many different kinds of people. You are demo- 
cratic, and cannot endure those persons who are always 
walking about with a chip on their shoulders, because 
of their supposed "superiority." You can fit yourself 
to your surroundings. You are very full of humor, 
especially if a woman, when your fun knows no bounds ; 
and you often keep a whole room full of people amused 
and entertained by your humor, ready wit and originality. 
You are very fond of animals, and they in turn take to 
you. You are psychic and open to impressions. You 
have a good deal of business sense, and which is rather 
exceptional in one of your talents and attainments. You 
are restless, and always on the move. Your mecurial 
temperament is often a trouble to you, as it will not 
allow you to remain in one place, while, as a matter of 
fact, you yourself might want to. You are very affec- 



Astrological Birthday Book 157 

tionate, and ardent in your protestations. Perhaps in 
this you are not always as sincere as you might be. Still, 
on the whole, you are a very likeable personality and 
deserve the best of everything in life. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Robert J. Burdette, the poet and author. 



JULY 31. 

The restlessness and wandering spirit of those born 
yesterday is accentuated in those born today. You are 
a great wanderer, and like "a moving spirit upon the 
face of the waters." You are rough and ready; but kind 
and sympathetic. You have very ideal aspirations, and 
look for the best in everybody, and you must not be dis- 
appointed if you do not always find what you are search- 
ing for. You are true and just, and cannot stand cant 
or hypocrisy. You are large in all your dealings and 
undertakings; and in your views of life, so that you 
cannot be bothered to attend to details, but leave that 
to others. You take a broad and comprehensive view of 
everything, and in your intuitional grasp, thus gained, you 
are seldom wrong. You are fond of athletics and out 
of door sports of all kinds. You are musical. One of 
your nature should succeed in accumulating quite a small 
fortune, if you do not spend it all in your travels, or 
give it away while it is being made. Learn the value 
of saving, if only a little. You are by no means a flirt, 
but you like a lot of attention, and can love very deeply. 
Be careful in the choice of a life partner, for one of your 
nature, much depends upon it. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Paul du Chaillu, the famus African explorer. 



AUGUST 1. 

You are impulsive, original, clever. If a woman, you 
are a born diplomat, and have a perfect talent for getting 



158 Astrological Birthday Book 

people into scrapes, and getting them out again: You 
will have many friends and not a few enemies. You are 
many-sided, and you can like a number of people in a 
number of different ways. You are like a six-sided 
figure; you present a number of sides to a number of 
people, and each one of them is different. For this 
reason you may be perfectly sincere in your attachments 
for several people at one time. Each one of them meets 
and gratifies a certain side of yourself. You are inven- 
tive, and, if a man, should make a success as an inventor. 
You have very good taste and discrimination; and this 
is evident in your home and your clothes and in fact 
everything about you. You are rather inclined to hold 
two opposite opinions on a certain subject, and not 
know which one to choose, like the donkey and the two 
carrots — perhaps causing you to end by choosing neither. 
You must learn the value of immediate choice — of 
making up your mind at once upon a subject. When 
once you have learned to do this, you should make a 
great success of your life, as you have many original 
talents. Your love nature is well marked. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
The Hon. Robert Todd Lincoln, the noted states- 
man. 



AUGUST 2. 

You are literary, and have considerable facility, ready 
wit, and imagination. You can think of things no one 
else in the world would conceive. You are a hard worker, 
and believe in making a success through hard work. 
But this work should be devoted towards your own 
betterment and advancement, and not simply given for 
the advancement of another. You are scientific and 
interested in religious problems. You are not naturally 
a Bohemian, though you can be on occasion, but this 
life is not for you as a steady thing. You prefer some- 
thing more solid and substantial. You are musical, and 



Astrological Birthday Book 159 

should be able to play some instrument well. You are 
very devoted to your home and children, and your chief 
object in life is to provide a comfortable home for your 
old age. You are very fond of books, and have a good 
memory. You are a good deal of a diplomat, and can 
get out of a difficult situation when you are in one as 
well as anyone well could. You are fond of comfort; 
and, if a woman, clothes will form a large part of your 
interests. Yet you are not unduly extravagant, and can 
make money go a long way, when you have to. You 
are capable of deep feeling, and are naturally sincere 
and loving in your regard for those of the opposite sex. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Marion Crawford. 



AUGUST 3. 

You are quiet and reserved, and little inclined to en- 
trust your thoughts and ideas to others. You should be 
good at debate, and for this reason one born this day 
would make a good lawyer. You have good executive 
ability, and can handle large business enterprises, if 
ever you have the chance to do so. You are destined 
to gain power, though possibly not until later on in life. 
You are orderly and tidy and almost military in your 
precision. You are very fond of the beautiful, no 
matter whether this be in painting, sculpture, or in the 
living form of some beautiful woman. You are ideal 
in your aspirations, and are never satisfied with anything 
short of the best. Yet you can go without if you have 
to. You will have a certain amount of business success, 
but this will depend entirely upon the amount of work 
you put into the venture you undertake. You are not 
easily moved, but when thoroughly convinced that you 
are in the right, you will fight so long as life remains 
in you. You have a strong sense of justice. You do 
not fall in love easily, but when you do, it will probably 
be a "bad case," as you will be very hard hit. Lavish 



160 Astrological Birthday Book 

your affection only upon one worthy of receiving it, for 
if you do not, you will regret it all your life. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Frederic William III, of Prussia. 



AUGUST 4. 

You are keen and quick to perceive a situation, and 
to see which way events are trending. You have good 
common sense, and possess an alert, active mind. You 
possess a fund of humor, and are naturally witty. You 
are probably fond of the country, and see in it many 
beauties which escape the careless eye of the beholder. 
You are poetical, and possess marked ability in the line 
of literature, if you but cultivated your talents in that 
direction. At times, you are a dreamer; yet at other 
times you possess an intensely practical nature. You 
are not a lavish spender, and must learn to open your 
hand a little more liberally when you go out. You 
possess the faculty of saving, and this will stand you in 
good stead. You are clever enough to make money; it 
all depends upon you whether or not you will do so. 
You may pretend not to care for the opposite sex ; but 
the attraction is there, nevertheless; and at times this is 
shown very strongly! You are fond of books, but do not 
devote enough time to study or concentration in one 
effort. You must take your own time in anything, 
and you cannot be hurried into doing a thing, you do 
not want to. You will have many ups and downs but 
ultimate success. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 

Russell Sage and Shelley, the poet. 



AUGUST 5. 

You are literary and artistic, and the poetic tendency 
marked in those born yesterday is still more accentuated 



Astrological Birthday Book 161 

in those born today. You are energetic, but probably 
possess somewhat delicate health, which will prevent 
you from accomplishing as much as you would like. 
You are very ideal, and have great aspirations and hopes 
for the future. In these you will not be disappointed — 
if only you will "stick to your guns" and determine to 
succeed in the line you have chosen as that most 
suited to you. If a woman, you are very esthetic, and 
rarely you meet anyone who seems to come up to your 
ideal of what a man should be. You expect, perhaps, 
too much, as in these days men such as you have in 
mind are few and far between. But they exist, and you 
should not be satisfied with a "second rater." You are 
very affectionate, and your passional nature is strong. 
This applies both to men and women born this day. 
You are impressional and psychic and greatly interested 
in all that pertains to the occult and mysterious. You 
often have strange dreams which appear to you symbolic 
and in this you are quite right. They should be inter- 
preted by an expert. You depend greatly upon your 
clothes for your peace and serenity of mind, and you 
should never allow yourself to become "sloppy" at any 
time; and you must live up to your worthy calling, to 
justify the confidence which nature has placed in you. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Alfred Tennyson. 



AUGUST 6. 

You are kind and sympathetic, and fond of children, 
who, in turn, are very fond of you. You are perhaps 
inclined to talk a little too much, though what you have 
to say is generally interesting. You are studious and 
love books. At the same time, you like the things of 
this world, and enjoy a good dinner with anybody. You 
have high aspirations and aims, and there is no reason 
why, if you have enough stick-to-it-iveness, you should 
not succeed. You must learn more fully to keep your 



162 Astrological Birthday Book 

word, and the value of the old adage : A man is as good 
as his word. Not that you are untruthful in any way, 
but you are inclined to let things slide, if it is a trouble to 
do what you say you will. Do not procrastinate, and 
never put off till to-morrow what you can do today — for 
"tomorrow never comes." You have a great deal of 
home life, and love ease and comfort; in fact, you don't 
jlike doing more than you have to in life. You are 
loving, and capable of being most extravagant in your 
affections, when once you center upon a certain being 
worthy of them. You may come into money through 
good fortune, but you will probably never make a million 
by your own work. Learn to concentrate. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
The Marquis of Lorne. 



AUGUST 7 

You are lively and active, full of fun and enthusiasm, 
when you wish to be. You are fond of an out-door life, 
and cannot bear to be cooped up all day indoors. You 
ihave very high ideals and lofty aspirations, and spend 
a good part of your time in day-dreams and imagina- 
tions. Yet when you force yourself to be so, you can 
be eminently practical. You are probably inclined to be 
stout, and must be careful that you do not become unduly 
fat in later life. Drink plenty of lemonade, and do 
not eat fat-forming food, and especially do not eat too 
much. Always be neat and tidy in your appearance, and 
do not allow yourself to be overcome by external cir- 
cumstances or moulded by the opinion of those around 
you. You have a great deal of charm and personal 
magnetism and can usually control those with whom you 
are thrown into contact. You are a bit of a "Bluff," 
in spite of the fact that you usually make good what you 
say. You are fond of reading, but the class of books 
you read is not always of the best. You need a little 



Astrological Birthday Book 163 

more neatness and tidiness and concentration in your 
make-up. You are very affectionate, and a great lover 
of home and children. You will probably accumulate a 
good deal of money through hard and persistent work. 
Keep busy ! 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Elias Loomis, the American physicist. 



AUGUST 8. 

You are clever and versatile, and take responsibility 
lightly, without feeling weighed down under the burden. 
You love law and order, and there is a touch of military 
sternness about you. You are a natural linguist and learn 
languages easily. You are fond of foreign travel, and 
destined to see a great many places in this world at 
different times, and under different circumstances. You 
are curious and have a desire to experience everything 
in life which a human being can experience. You have 
a deeply marked love nature, which is not as sincere as 
it should be, but which is capable of great heights of 
emotion, when the right chord is touched. You have a 
great deal of energy, and want to be always up and 
doing something. You are interested in all those things 
which are beyond the realm of the known — the occult and 
psychic. But you are critical and cautious in your atti- 
tude, at the same time, and not at all credulous. You 
are kind, and like to help others out of their difficulties 
when this is within your power. You are loving, and 
your passional nature is strong. If a woman, you doubt- 
less have a very pretty face and a supple and exquisitely 
proportioned figure. Learn to economize. 

Famous Persons Born This Day

164 'Astrological Birthday BooJc 

AUGUST 9. 

You have a very long head in all business transactions. 
and seldom get disappointed in your estimate of a person, 
once you have made up your mind. You are observant, 
keen and penetrating, and a good judge of human nature. 
You see the motives of those about you, and can easily 
pick out an honest man in a crowd. You are confident 
and self-assertive, and think that your own judgment is 
pretty nearly always right — as it often is. You are a 
great talker, and rather a flirt, especially in your younger 
days. You realize the value of money, and will probably 
make a good deal of it, owing to the fact that you con- 
centrate on it early in life. You do not use your mind 
enough, being too taken up with social distractions. You 
are not as intellectual as you should be. You do not 
sufficiently realize the value of intellect, heart, learn- 
ing, poetry, etc., as your one standard of comparison is 
material wealth. You must learn the great lesson that 
a person can be rich in mind or heart, but poor in ma- 
terial possessions. You are fond of music; a good host 
or hostess and a splendid entertainer. You like the best 
of everything, and like to live luxuriously. You have 
a great deal of sympathy, for those in distress, but you 
do not allow your heart to run away with your head. 
Yours is a strong, rather than a sweet, nature. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
John Dryden. 



AUGUST 10. 

You are very persistent and persevering. You have 
great determination, and never know when you are 
beaten. You long for money, ! and the power that it 
brings with it; and because of this and your natural 
strong will and determination, you will doubtless succeed 
in getting it during your life-time. You are artistic, and 
probably have a good deal of talent as a painter or sculp- 
tor. You are also musical and dramatic. You could 



Astrological Birthday Booh 165 

make a success upon the stage. You have a magnetic 
personality, and can hold a circle of listeners when you 
tell a story better than anyone in your immediate neigh- 
borhood. You are clever and resourceful, and seldom 
beaten by circumstances. You have a strong literary 
taste and ought to be able to write well, especially poetry. 
You love the Bohemian life, and are never more at home 
than when seated in a studio, with a lot of fellow students 
round you, all taking life at its best and in its most rosy 
colors. You have a good business head, however, and 
have ability to carry out, large ideas, if the chance be 
given you to do so. There is a distinctly religious streak 
in your nature, which demands expression in one form 
or another. There is a great deal of material prosperity 
in your life- 
Famous Person Born This Day 
Joseph Pulitzer. 



AUGUST 11. 

You are sincere and honest, and have strong convic- 
tions, which you feel it your duty to express. You have 
wide and deep sympathies, which make you interested in 
humanity, and will probably make you more or less in- 
terested in socialism and kindred beliefs, as one of your 
first interests in life. You are kind and sympathetic, and 
extremely fond of children. You like domestic life, and 
would make a good father or mother. You are intuitive, 
and your impulses are seldom mistaken. You are fear- 
less and brave. You have executive ability, and would 
make a success of whatever you undertake. You are 
dogged and persevering. You are a great lover of justice. 
You are original and detest copying thoughts or ideas 
from others. If a woman, you are fond of clothing and 
bright garments, having warm colors ; you are also fond 
of jewelry and beads and kindred knick-knacks. Light 
grey would doubtless be very becoming to you; and the 



166 Astrological Birthday Book 

turquoise is the stone you should wear. Live up to your 
highest standards and ideals, and your life will doubtless 
be a great success. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Robert Ingersoll, the noted author. 



AUGUST 12. 

You have distinctly literary ability and could certainly 
make a good writer if you determined to do so. You 
have dramatic ability ; a good speaking voice, and if a man 
could make your mark as a speaker or lecturer. Politics 
have a great attraction for you. You are obstinate, and 
cannot be made to see another point of view from your 
own by hook or crook. Try to see things from the other 
standpoint. Cultivate greater frankness and openness, 
and the gospel of Charity towards all. You are very- 
cautious in all your undertakings, and cannot be led into 
anything until you have investigated it thoroughly. For 
this reason you will probably succeed in business, and 
there is every probability that you will be a rich man 
before you die. You are very understanding, and can 
mix with all kinds of people equally well. You are 
amorous, and always in some love affair or other, which 
does not mean much to you, but may mean a great deal 
to the other person involved; and for this reason you 
must beware of entering into any such intimate relations, 
until you have considered all the consequences. You are 
inclined to be rather a flirt, but you are capable of great 
love and affection, just the same. Yours is a life which 
might be very happy or just the reverse; and it depends 
entirely on yourself which it shall be. Read some good 
new-thought literature, and determine to mould your life 
as you want it. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 
Robert Southey and King George IV, of England. , 



Astrological Birthday Book 167 

AUGUST 13. 

You are long-headed and have keen penetration of per- 
ception. You are a good judge of human nature. You 
are diplomatic and tactful. There is a strong religious 
streak in your nature, which seeks to find expression. 
At the same time, you have a long business head on your 
shoulders, and it is seldom that anyone gets the best of 
you on a business deal. You are naturally affectionate, 
and fond of home and family; you are domestic, kind 
and sympathetic. You have great determination, and 
stick to a thing until it is accomplished. You must learn 
to think the best of those about you, and never back-bite 
or whine. You are literary and fond of reading and of 
books. You must take care of your health; probably 
your liver is your weak spot. You have every chance 
to make a material success of life, so do it. You are 
original and inventive ; very fond of music and the 
drama. You have a wide range of interests; perhaps too 
wide, for concentration is the secret of all success. Do 
not scatter your forces over a variety of topics. You 
would make a good teacher, as you have great patience 
and tact. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Felix Adler. 



AUGUST 14. 

You are firm and determined in your actions and life, 
and go into everything in a hearty, whole-souled manner. 
You have a fresh, breezy manner, which should win you 
much popularity wherever you go. You are sincere, 
affectionate and capable of feeling very deeply. One 
of your chief faults — which you must learn to overcome 
— is scandal-mongering, for in this way you often work 
a great deal of harm without intending to do so in the 
least. You are generous, and so long as you have a 
dollar, your friends can share it with you. You are fond 
of children, and understand them; and they in turn 



168 Astrological Birthday Book 

understand you. You are fond of music, and should 
be able to play and also to compose. You like social life 
— too much, probably, as this interferes with any real 
intellectual progress you may make. If a woman, you 
are very fond of clothes and all social events. You are 
a good conversationalist; and would doubtless make a 
good speaker. You will make money easily, if you ap- 
proach it in the right way, as with your large acquaint- 
ance and personality, you should be enabled to find a 
good livelihood wherever you are. You are fond of your 
food and drink, and inclined to get stout. If a woman, 
you must guard against this, or you will regret it later 
on in life. Learn the value of habit; and cultivate the 
habit of reading a little more. It will repay you fully. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Henry Clews, the noted banker. 



AUGUST 15. 

Born this day, you 'have great natural gifts, which you 
should appreciate and prize. Early on in life, you must 
conquer yourself, find yourself, plan out what you want 
to do in life, and then set about accomplishing your aim. 
Never let any other side-issues interfere with the main 
object of your life. You are one of the born geniuses; 
do not disappoint Nature by neglecting the cultivation 
of the gifts you have, or grasping opportunities. You 
have great staying powers and ability to work. You like 
work, but it must be congenial work, and show results. 
You have a decided literary taste ; are poetic and musical. 
You have force of character and personal magnetism. 
The chief fault you must be on the lookout for is that of 
becoming too self-centered and egotistical. You have 
tact, patience and discrimination. You can sway others 
to your way of looking at things, and might make a good 
public speaker. You are rather hard with others, and 
have more head than heart. Yet you never forget a 
friend. If a woman, you should be one of the leaders 



Astrological Birthday Book 169 

of society — a striking personality which stands out above 
others in the room. Never take advantage of your posi- 
tion ; but always be true to yourself. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 
Napoleon and Sir Walter Scott. 



AUGUST 16. 

You are penetrating and keen, and have a good head 
for figures and mathematics. You might shine as an 
engineer. If you go into science, you would doubtless 
attain the highest rank ; probably in some physical science, 
since you are very material and matter of fact in your 
view of life and of this universe. You have a great 
power for work ; but this must be for your own advance- 
ment. You are very fond of music; and can probably 
perform creditably on one or more instruments. You 
are many-sided, and take an active interest in a variety 
of topics. You are too sensitive to slights; and should 
not feel so keenly. You should not have a regular 
life; as you are fitted for one filled with ups and downs 
and variety of all kinds. You are destined to travel a 
great deal. You have quick temper and are easy to anger 
over trifles. Overcome this by all means. If a woman* 
you are bright, witty and popular. You are rather a 
flirt, but not seriously so. You are out for a good time, 
and intend to have one, if possible. You are capable of 
giving much true love, but have high ideals of what this 
should be. You are naturally domesticated, and would 
make the man happy whom you marry. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Lavoisier, the famous chemist. 



AUGUST 17. 

You are kind hearted, and have much native wit 
and talent, but you do not make the most of your abili- 



170 'Astrological Birthday Book 

ties and opportunities. You are inclined to wait for 
something to turn up, instead of turning it up yourself, 
not realizing that "God helps those who help themselves" 
and that you must keep moving to make a success in 
life. So long as you drift, you will never succeed. 
Make up your mind to this once and for all; and then 
things will begin to turn your way, as you have the 
ability to do a great deal, once you make up your mind 
to. You are probably interested in scientific matters ; and 
would make a splendid nurse, as you have tact and 
patience. Do not be too easy-going, as you will always 
be imposed upon until you learn the first grand lesson 
of saying No, when occasion demands. Your success 
will probably come during the second half of your life. 
You are very devoted and constant in your affections, 
and would make some man a good and true wife. Learn 
to concentrate, to apply yourself to one thing for long 
periods of time ; and success should be yours. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Archbishop Corrigan. 



AUGUST 18. 

You are quick, original and emotional in your speech 
and actions. You would undoubtedly make a success 
upon the stage, or as a public speaker or orator. You 
are a good judge of human nature, witty, resourceful 
and intuitive. You have a splendid business head, and a 
grasp of detail, but at the same time your speciality 
consists in your ability to carry out large enterprises and 
schemes. You are rather an "extremist," and want 
others to conform to your way of life and doing things. 
You feel that you could do great things if only you were 
removed from your present cramping environment. You 
are very affectionate, and have a deep well of love within 
you, which demands expression. You are apt to trust 
others too easily, and must be careful that you are not 



Astrological Birthday Book 171 

led astray in this manner some time or other in your 
life. You are lively, and have a vivid imagination, which 
is sometimes a nuisance — for instance, it renders you 
afraid of the dark! You will doubtless make a very 
happy and successful marriage, fairly early in life. Your 
love-nature is strong ; and will only then be gratified fully. 
Yours is a generally successful life. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Marshall Field, the Chicago merchant-millionaire. 



AUGUST 19. 

You have an impetuous and imperious nature, which 
causes you to appear, at times, haughty to those about 
you ; but it is only your manner which is part of yourself. 
Try to be more frank, open and democratic. Never har- 
bor a grudge against another; but come out squarely at 
the time, and state your grievance. You are very fond 
of reading, and strange to say, might be quite a book- 
worm if you gave yourself up to it. You have strong 
motive temperament, and always enter with zest and 
spirit into any novel enterprise. You are affectionate, 
domestic and home loving and, if a woman would make 
a splendid wife. You demand a great deal of affection 
from others, but are willing to give much in return. You 
will have a prosperous business career, and much travel. 
You must develop concentration and poise. Tuesdays 
will prove fortunate days for you, and February a lucky 
month. Depend upon your intuitions more than you do. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 
James Lenox, founder of the Lenox Library, and 
Elizabeth Stuart. 



AUGUST 20. 

You are many-sided and interested in a variety of 
subjects. You are forceful and energetic. Whilst your 



172 Astrological Birthday Book 

life-work may be something entirely different, you are, 
if a man, distinctly interested in politics. You have good 
taste and discrimination. You have a good head for 
organization and supervision. In this line you will doubt- 
less prove very successful, and will succeed in making 
a good deal of money during your life. You are kind 
and sympathetic and have a great deal of personal mag- 
netism. You are very much drawn to the opposite sex, 
and are very sincere and straightforward in your deal- 
ings with them. You are destined for a public life, and 
you will doubtless win a good deal of fame in this direc- 
tion. You are musical and artistic. If a woman, you 
have a very deep nature and do not care for those who 
are superficial. You will probably make a very good 
marriage. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Benjamin Harrison. 



AUGUST 21. 

Born this day, you are very fond of scientific pursuits 
and are indefatigable in your pursuit of knowledge. You 
are a hard worker and have a great deal of patience. 
You are original and inventive. If a woman you care 
only for those of both sexes who have brains, and use 
great tact and diplomacy in bringing together those who 
meet at your social gatherings. You will have many ups 
and downs in your life, and you will probably find that 
the month of June is not a fortunate one for you. The 
19th of December will probably be the happiest day of 
your life. If a woman, all shades of green and mauve 
will be becoming to you. You are inclined to be slim, 
and should take good care of your health, and eat 
nourishing foods, in order to keep up your health and 
strength. You have strong emotions, and are rather too 
ready to fly up in a fit of anger when things do not go 
right with you. You will probably travel a good deal 



Astrological Birthday Book 173 

during your life, and a peculiar form of common-sense 
combined with * innate perception, which the Orientals 
call the possession of the Third Eye. Live up to your 
highest ideals and leadings ; and yours should be a happy, 
successful life. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Frank A. Munsey. 



AUGUST 22. 

You have a great deal of force of character, and usually 
succeed in getting your way in the things that you want. 
You are many sided; and can be all things to 1 all men. 
You are literary, and have! great interest in the drama. 
You are also very fond of music. You are good at 
figures, and should excel as a bookkeeper or expert 
accountant. You are capable of making and keeping a 
large number of friends; on the other hand, you will, 
unless you are careful make several enemies, who may 
do you a good deal of harm. You have the ability in you 
to make or mar a man. You are resourceful and ingen- 
ious. You feel things very 'keenly, and should train 
yourself to be less sensitive to slights from others, which 
may not be meant at all in the sense which you believed 
them to be given. You must be very careful of the 
habits you form, as 'these will either make or break your 
life. Learn to concentrate and to keep to one thing, 
instead of Scattering your forces. You must use your 
mind more and be more intellectual. In a business way, 
you will prove a 'success, if you stick strictly to business, 
and do not waste time and money in foolish side-issues. 
You are 'passionate by nature, and must learn to keep 
this under control. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
S. P. Langley, of the Smithsonian Institution. 



174 Astrological Birthday Book 

AUGUST 23. 

You have a strong desire for power, and if you crave 
for money, it is largely because of the power it would 
bring with it and enable you to obtain. You are rather 
inclined to be self -centered, and ignore the rights of the 
rest *of the world. You are naturally inclined to be im- 
perious, and cannot stand reprimands from others. You 
should • receive a certain amount of mental discipline 
however, as this is good for character formation. You 
are extremely fond of art, literature, the drama, and in 
fact all the joys of life and the comforts and dainties 
you can get. If you are a "spoiled child," your life may 
be ruined; but if not you may turn out a fine man 
(or woman). If a woman, you are very fond of dress, 
jewelry, and everything pertaining to the beautiful. You 
are fond of dressing up, and making up, and observing 
the beauty of your face and form before a mirror. You 
are a natural Bohemian, and love all the good things of 
this life which you can get. You are fond of society, 
and cannot stick to one occupation for long at a time. 
You must learn concentration above all else. Cultivate 
your mind more, and do .not give way to your emotions 
and impulses as you do. When once you have learned 
this grand lesson, your life will change and all will be 
plain sailing. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Louis XVI, of France. 



AUGUST 24. 

Born this day, you are peace-loving, and desire to lead 
a calm, peaceful life, free from strife and accidents of all 
kinds. There is a 'strongly religious streak in your na- 
ture. You would make a good orator -or speaker, as' you 
have a pleasant speaking voice, and a good presence and 
magnetic personality. You are intellectual, and a great 
reader and lover of books. You ought to be able to 



Astrological Birthday Book 175 

write well. You are probably interested in the great 
questions of* the day, such as socialism, suffrage, etc. Ii 
a woman, you might be a suffragette, but not one of 
the aggressive, militant kind. Your nature would prevent 
that. You are tender, true and loving, and would be 
very domesticated if you 'had a little home of your own. 
You should marry young. Doubtless you are fond of 
children. Yours is a life full of longings and yearninigs, 
which are not always gratified. You are very ideal in 
your present aspirations, 'and perhaps for this reason 
you find it so hard in your present environment to obtain 
what you crave. You are large hearted and sympathetic. 
You are extremely lonely, at times, even when in the 
company of others, and you feel that no one can under- 
stand you but yourself. You have an inner life, which 
none can reach. Yet happiness is clearly marked out for 
you, and it will come through marriage. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Theodore Parker. 



AUGUST 25. 

You have strong literary talent. You are a keen ob- 
server of human nature, but inclined to 'be cynical and 
caustic, at times. Try to look for the best instead 'of the 
worst of human nature. Both sides are there; it only 
remains to choose which side we wish to choose, to see. 
Realism is all right in its place; but ideals have a place 
in nature and in human life also. You have a retentive 
memory, and great ability for work. You are cautious 
and would make a good physician, if a woman a nurse. 
You are extremely interested in nature, and like nothing 
better than spending a day in the country. You are fond 
of animals, and they in turn are fond of you. You are 
affectionate, and desire to see a good deal of the opposite 
sex, whose society you crave. You have a good deal of 
patience, and would be eminently suited to become a 



176 Astrological Birthday Book 

school-master or mistress, «as you have the gift of making 
things clear, and children like you. You are doubtless 
very fond of art, and the "grand" appeals to you in 
nature. You will be fairly successful in business, if 
you learn to be cautious, and never to take an important 
step until you feel the ground form under your feet. 
Above all, you should be careful in your choice in 
marriage; and your future weal or woe will depend 
upon this. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Bret Harte, the noted author. 



AUGUST 26. 

You are very exact and careful in all that you do or 
undertake. You are neat in your personal appearance, 
and you like to see your home tidy and well kept. You 
are very true in your friendships and affections ; and are 
domestic and home loving. While you are fond of 
travel and the world, the gaudy, tinselly side of life 
does not appeal to you, after you have passed the first 
flush of youth. You are just and generous ; and no one 
can accuse you of not being open handed with your money 
when you have it. You are very fond of reading, and 
all literary pursuits attract you. Your emotional nature 
is strong; and you are capable of deep and lasting af- 
fection. Your life will probably be one full of interest, 
and will be marked by a gradual but certain growth 
upward. You have good executive powers ; can command 
men, and although it appears hard for you to make 
money at first, it will come to you steadily and easily 
later on in life. Do not allow yourself to be spoiled 
by flattery, to which you are partial. 

Famous Person Born This Day

[Astrological Birthday Book 177 

AUGUST 27. 

You are very energetic and active, and can scurry 
round when anything has to be done, with anybody. 
You have a good memory and a clear brain in all busi- 
ness transactions. You are plain and straightforward, 
and you have no use for frills and frivolities. You are 
a hard worker; and stick closely to business. There is 
every indication that you will be very successful in this, 
and accumulate a moderate fortune before you die. 
,You must learn to be lenient with the shortcomings of 
others, and remember that experience is the only real 
teacher, and that everything must have a certain amount 
of this, no matter what sound advice be given him, before 
he can succeed. Men and women born this day differ 
greatly in characteristics. If a woman, you are probably 
society loving, and fond of the theatre and opera. You 
are fond of card-playing, dancing, and all the social 
amusements you can get. You should learn to curtail 
this taste, for if you do not, you will have a rude awaken- 
ing some day which will be hard indeed for you to bear. 
Women born this day should be more cautious and sen- 
sible ; the men less so. In that way, a happy blending 
would result. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Livy, the Roman historian. 



AUGUST 28. 

You are one of the natural geniuses of the world, if 
you live up to and cultivate the gifts which Nature has 
given you. You are artistic and musical, and can ap- 
preciate these arts as few can. You are also poetical 
and literary, and can write yourself, as well as being able 
to appreciate the work of others. Yet you are scientific 
in a remarkable degree, and have a remarkable memory. 
You are intuitive and a good judge of human nature. 
You are religious and philosophic; and interested in all 



178 Astrological Birthday Book 

psychic and occult subjects. You are a great reader 
and fairly devour books of all kinds, on a great variety 
of subjects. Money will come to you without trouble, 
and without seeking on your part. You are fond of 
travel, and destined to have a great deal of it in your 
life time. You have a very amorous nature, and your 
passions are strong. You are generous, imaginative 
yet capricious at times. You are a hard worker, and 
have a universal interest in fact, in nearly everything. 
If a woman, you have a fine mind, a loving, domestic 
nature, yet in early life inclined to be fickle. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Goethe and De Wolfe Howe. 



AUGUST 29. 

You are rather whimsical, and see the humorous side 
of things. You have a keen sense of humor, and see 
the fun in a situation where another would not see it at 
all. You like the luxuries of life, and like the best of 
everything. You cannot stand being poor, and will 
make every effort to better yourself, and rise out of 
your present conditions to those better and more ex- 
pressive of your true self. You have a great deal of 
vitality, and can do an extraordinary amount of work. 
You are accurate, and painstaking in all that you do. 
You are literary and fond of books. If a woman, the 
stage has a great attraction for you; and you have a 
desire to go before the footlights. You are very in- 
terested in the odd and anything occult or psychic fas- 
cinates you and makes you wish to devote more time than 
you can to its investigation. You have a good nose for 
news, and would make a splendid reporter, no matter 
whether you are a man or a woman. Be cautious in all 
that you undertake during the month of May. Persons 
born during the months of October or December would 
be most suited to you in temperament. You demand 



"Astrological Birthday Book 179 

much of those you love, but are willing to give much 
in return. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Oliver Wendell Holmes. 



AUGUST 30. 

You are a jolly, happy-go-lucky sort of person, who 
takes life as it comes and does not worry any too much 
about it. You are speculative, and always ready to take 
a chance or a rush on anything. You would make a 
successful speculator, and would have luck, as it is 
called, in all that you went in for. You are always con- 
tented, and seldom cross or irritable. You are fond of 
outdoor sports of all kinds, and love excitement. You 
demand a good deal of company always about you, and 
get lonely easily. You have a good business head; and 
will probably make a good deal of money during your 
life, by reason of the game you play. You are affec- 
tionate, kind and sympathetic. You are fond of the 
society of the opposite sex, and would make a good 
husband or wife and a splendid and understanding 
parent. You can be stern at times, when you want to 
be; but this is not your natural disposition. You will 
doubtless travel a great deal. You are loyal and true 
in all your friendships, and on the whole a very likeable 
character. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

The Emperor of Austria. 



AUGUST 31. 

You have a positive, decided personality, which is 
destined to succeed and to rule those in contact with 
you. You have excellent judgment and good common 



180 Astrological Birthday Book 

sense. You are sympathetic and understanding. You 
•have good business sense; and others are likely to go 
to you and ask your advice on certain questions, which 
ithey should really know more about than you. If a 
woman, you like good clothes, but simple ones, and you 
<io not care for show of finery as many do. You are 
quick and dexterous with your hands; and quick of 
thought and action. You are loving by nature and 
demonstrative in your affection towards another when 
you feel it. You will doubtless make a very happy 
marriage, probably early on in life. Success is clearly 
marked out for you ; if you do not attain it, it is your own 
fault. You have a good mind; cultivate it. You are 
genuine and sincere. Use the forces you possess within 
you, and difficulties will melt away from before you, and 
success will be attained as surely as the sun rises to- 
morrow. Practice what you preach. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Queen Wilhelmina, of Holland. 



SEPTEMBER 1. 

You have a great deal of executive ability, and could 
undertake the management of an enterprise of large 
scale. You are determined, and generally manage to 
push a thing through by hook or by crook until you 
succeed. You are a good friend and a bad enemy. You 
have a great deal ol originality, and might be an in- 
ventor. You are inclined to be grave and severe, and 
should cultivate a greater sense of fun and humor. You 
are always popular wherever you go, and your sincerity 
and force fulness of character makes you respected and 
liked. Often you are not understood by those around 
you, and feel great things burning inside you which you 
cannot express; and often you do not know what they 
are yourself. Sometimes these feelings are suppressed 
emotions, burning to find outlet. Sometimes they are 



Astrological Birthday Book 181 

plans which you feel should be put into action. You 
have a good clear head in such matters, however, and 
know that you must bide your time, and that all will 
come out right in the long run. You should marry fairly 
young in life; and the period of your greatest freedom 
and happiness will begin when you are married and have 
a little home of your own. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Countess of Blessington, novelist and friend of 
Lord Byron. 



SEPTEMBER 2. 

You are naturally humorous and have a fine lot of 
droll stories and anecdotes which keep those about you 
in roars of laughter. You see the funny side of every- 
thing. Yet you can be very serious when you have to, 
and most of the time, the stern events of the daily task 
make you much more matter of fact than you could 
otherwise be. You have high ideals and aspirations, and 
you are determined to gratify them sooner or later. 
There i& no reason why you should not, for you have 
all the possibilities within yourself, and they need only 
expression. You are literary and fond of books. You 
can express yourself well, and should make a good 
letter writer — only you have to have someone to write 
to of whom you are very fond, and then you will find 
that the pen flows and the epistles almost write them- 
selves. You doubtless love poetry, and there is a dis- 
tinctly poetical streak in your make-up. You will travel 
a great deal in your life time; this is clearly indicated, 
you are warm in your feelings and are passionate by 
nature. You will make a good deal of money in your 
time, probably by speculation and similar methods, as 
you will never accumulate it through your own work.

Learn to save. "Take care of the pennies and the 
pounds will take care of themselves." 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Eugene Field, the famous author. 



SEPTEMBER 3. 

You are literary, poetic, artistic. You are fond of the 
country, and see in it much beauty and grandeur which 
escapes the eye of the average beholder. You are social 
and are never happier than when you are surrounded by 
friends and acquaintances at a social dinner or convivial 
evening. You live a great deal in an inner life which 
no one seems to penetrate or reach — save, perhaps, the 
one who you feel understands all. There is a strong re- 
ligious streak in your nature. You are fond of reading, 
and can consume books you like at a great rate. You 
are interested in the occult and the mysterious and any- 
thing relating to the supernatural appeals to you. You 
often have presentments as to what is about to happen 
and dreams which you feel need interpretation. You 
will have a good deal of commercial success if you learn 
to concentrate your forces instead of scattering them 
over a variety of subjects. You are destined to win a 
certain amount of fame and reputation in a subject 
which is as yet given little attention. Have a definitive 
goal in life, and determine to reach it. If you do this 
success will ultimately be yours. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Haydn, the famous composer. 



SEPTEMBER 4. 

You are sincere and a true friend. You have a good 
head for mathematics, and would make a good engineer. 



Astrological Birthday Book 183 

You are inclined to be delicate and suffer from poor 
health. You should eat plain and simple food and wrap 
up warmly in the cold weather. You are interested in 
all forms of literature, but especially in science, thougli 
you do not have as much time as you would like for 
study. In order to succeed, you must first of all know 
exactly what you want to do, as success is impossible 
if your mind is not clear on this point. Your natural 
ability and determination will then pull you through. 
You should endeavor to strike out in business for your- 
self, as soon as possible, though you would probably 
succeed best in partnership. You have a good deal of 
self-poise, and self assurance. If a woman, you are 
greatly influenced by your external environment, and 
if this is ugly or inharmonious you are unhappy and 
depressed in spirit. You are very affectionate and would 
make a splendid wife and mother. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Jonathan Knight. 



SEPTEMBER 5. 

You have an exceptionally good business head, and 
should make a great success, if you entered business 
for yourself and determined to work up gradually. Re- 
member that most sucessful enterprises began in a small 
way, and grew gradually; then when well established, 
grew by leaps and bounds. You are exact and methodi- 
cal, and have a good memory for details. You are a 
hard worker; and can carry on three or four different 
things at the same time. You are interested in intel- 
lectual pursuits, even in your recreations, and might take 
a great interest in chess and kindred games. You love 
Nature, and every summer finds you at the seashore, or 
in the mountains. You are a splendid judge of human 
nature, and are seldom deceived in the character of a 
man, after you have sized him up. If a woman, you are 



184 Astrological Birthday Book 

keen and observant, and while you do not say very much 
you take everything in that is going on around you. 
You are not so fond of clothes as some women you 
know, but like to be well dressed, and well groomed. 
You are deep in your love-nature, and should marry 
fairly young, but only one who understands you 
thoroughly. If there is an internal note of distrust, 
follow this prompting at once. You will not regret it. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

J. G. Carlisle, former Secretary of the Treasury. 



SEPTEMBER 6. 

You are inclined to be conventional in your tastes and 
have no liking for the new ideas and new thoughts 
which so constantly fill our times. You believe in mov- 
ing slowly. In religion this applies ; and also in business 
affairs. You are fond of the sea, and will probably 
make a great traveller on that account. You should be 
a good swimmer, and probably are fond of all kinds of 
water sports. You are fond of outdoor life, of games 
and sports of all kinds ; and are a great lover of Nature. 
Mountain climbing might be a recreation which es- 
pecially appeals to you. You are practical, in a business 
way, and can organize a thing well. You will doubtless 
bring whatever you undertake to a successful conclusion, 
and for this reason you will probably succeed in making 
money, should you turn your energies in that direction. 
You are a true friend and fond of plenty of social life. 
If a woman, you are essentially long headed and sensible, 
a good shopper, and can find a bargain if there is one 
to be found in the city. You have rather odd ideas 
about love, and what a man should and should not be. 
The sooner you get these ideas out of your head the 
better, as you will otherwise be disappointed. Take the 
world as you find it, and it will treat you well in return. 



Astrological Birthday Book 185 

Kick against the pricks, and you will have rather a hard 
time of it in life. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

General LaFayette. 



SEPTEMBER 7. 

You are imaginative to a remarkable degree, and can 
create romances, and live whole days in a dream world, 
if you cared to do so. This is especially true of women 
born this day, but is shared to a lesser extent by men 
also. You are one of the world's dreamers, who dream 
great things; and sometimes these dreams come true. 
You are very psychic ; intuitive, imaginative, and if a 
woman, in all probability afraid of the dark. You are 
very strongly drawn to the supernatural and mysterious ; 
you have strange powers yourself which you do not 
understand. You are one of the rare exceptions. You 
probably do not care for money to any extent, preferring 
the things of the mind and spirit ; and for this reason 
you never apply yourself to procuring it. You are 
drawn to the stage, to drama and the footlights. You 
are literary, clever and gifted. You have great under- 
standing and sympathy. You are very affectionate ; and 
although this may not seem to be the case, your pas- 
sional nature is strong. You should only marry one 
having tastes similar to your own; any other marriage 
would be fatal to you. You will travel much, and meet 
many interesting people. Remember your dreams; they 
have l meaning. Do not live too much in the sub- 
conscious world, however. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Victorian Sardou. 



SEPTEMBER 8. 

You have a good head for figures and mathematics,. 
You could utilize your special gifts to advantage in busi- 



186 Astrological Birthday Book 

ness life, as an expert accountant, if you wished to. You 
have a good brain, and are discriminating in your es- 
timate of men and affairs. You might make a good 
lawyer. You are more or less religious, but probably 
not orthodox. You must learn to trust the workings of 
your own mind and nature more. You mistrust every- 
thing too much. You are exact and precise in your deal- 
ings, and your word can always be taken and trusted 
implicity. This means that you invariably accomplish 
what you say you will. If a woman, you are a natural 
home builder; you are ingenious, reliable, clever — and 
capable of making a man very happy. You are neat and 
orderly. You are doubtless popular among your friends, 
and possess a certain unknown attraction for the op- 
posite sex. You have very good taste in the selection 
and arrangement of clothes ; and your choice of color 
combinations leaves little to be desired. You might be 
exceptionally successful as a milliner or a modiste. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Emilio Castelar, astronomer. 



SEPTEMBER 9. 

Born this day, you have remarkably strong views, 
and are destined to become widely known through ad- 
vocating them. You are destined to have a varied and 
interesting life, passed in many lands and under a variety 
of circumstances. The early part of your life will 
doubtless be very interesting, and later on you will settle 
down into a more practical routine. You are fond of 
art, music, literature, and all the fine arts. You have 
far more ability than most people realize, and you could 
accomplish, if the opportunity were given you to do so. 
You are apt to make enemies, as all persons of strong 
views are. Do not let that disturb you, however, in the 
least, for you can rise above it. You are also fond of 
society and will doubtless shine as one of its leaders. 



Astrological Birthday Book 187 

(Learn the value of time, and do not acquire the fatal 
habit of putting off until to-morrow what can be done 
to-day. Keep moving, for upon your continual activity 
success depends. Do not talk too much and learn the 
value of the old adage, ''Speech is silver, silence is 
golden." Listen to the advice of others but make up 
your mind independently before you act. Do not be 
discouraged by failure, since success is clearly marked 
in your life. You should receive a small legacy about 
your twentieth or thirty-second year. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Tolstoy, the Russian novelist. 



SEPTEMBER 10. 

You are active and energetic, and generally make 
yourself felt wherever you go. You have the motive 
temperament, and accomplish a great deal in life simply 
by reason of the wonderful stamina and staying powers 
that you have. You are very fond of camping and fish- 
ing and hunting, and similar sports which take you out 
into the open country. You are thoughful and kind, and 
solicitous of the welfare of others. Some very un- 
pleasant experiences will come into your life from time 
to time, but you will override them by sheer will and 
•determination, and be left all the stronger for the mental 
struggle. On the other hand, you will have some pleas- 
ant surprises, partly in the way of having money left 
you by someone from whom you least expected it, and 
partly because of the kindness and consideration which 
you will receive from some unexpected source, and 
which will be the means of your raising rapidly in the 
world, socially and financially. You have a strong love 
nature, and will doubtless marry very happily. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Poultney Bigelow, the noted writer. 



188 'Astrological Birthday Booh 

SEPTEMBER 11. 

You have a brilliant all-round mind, and are doubtless 
interested in a great variety of subjects. There is a 
strong religious vein running throughout your nature, 
which will assert itself, you will find, in one direction 
or another. You are practical and have eminent common 
sense. You are magnetic and doubtless attractive to 
members of the opposite sex. You are energetic, but 
your body is not always equal to your mind, and unless 
you are careful, you will wear yourself out. Be careful 
of your health, and above all do not eat too many sweet 
things, for which you have a distinct craving. You are 
shrewd in business matters, and never get very far wrong 
in your dealings with others. You are a good judge of 
human nature, and can guess what lies behind a smiling 
exterior as quickly as anyone. Your love-nature is 
strongly developed, and you are never so happy as when 
surrounded by a number of friends of both sexes. You 
are literary, and have talent for writing. Develop this. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Archbishop Ireland. 



SEPTEMBER 12. 

You have a great deal of natural power, and have 
splendid qualities of execution. You are a great talker — 
too much, at times, perhaps, but always interesting. You 
are original and inventive, and have the faculty of saying 
the right thing at the right time. You are witty and 
have a good sense of humor. You are fond of excite- 
ment of all kinds, and can live and thrive in an atmos- 
phere of stimulation. You are high tempered, and in- 
clined to "fly off the handle" for little things ; yet you 
are sorry the next minute for what you have done, or 
said — though it is then often too late to undo the damage 
which has been wrought. You think clearly, and come 
to definite decisions, which you seldom have to change. 



Astrological Birthday Book 189 

Your mind has a great effect over your body, and your 
physical health can be governed to a great extent, by 
mental influence of one form or another. You are very 
interested in occult and metaphysical things, and well 
versed in science and philosophy. You are inclined to 
be obstinate, and will not take the advice of others as 
much as you should. Weigh everything that is said to 
you, from all sides, and then make up your mind as to 
what you want to do. You have a life which ought to 
succeed; it is up to you to make it do so. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Francis I, of France. 



SEPTEMBER 13. 

You are active, and have great power for work. Much 
commercial success will be yours, undoubtedly; though 
you must work for all you get in life. Yours will be 
no easy road to travel, but if you live up to your ideals, 
and do the best you can on all occasions, you will come 
through with flying colors. You have great artistic 
ability, and should be a painter or musician of rare 
ability. You are fond of color, and if a woman, display 
great originality and taste in your dress, and in your 
home decorations. You will probably have a large num- 
ber of friends, and be popular in a wide circle. You 
have the faculty of keeping a secret — and this applies to 
women no less than to men born this day. You have 
moods, and have many ups and downs of feeling, which 
you cannot explain even to yourself. You feel that you 
have great talents and ability to do far more than you 
are called upon to do, if only the chance were given you 
to do so. You are naturally quiet and retiring, but you 
must learn to come out of your shell, for the world as 
it is at present constituted does not understand or ap- 
preciate a man who is too bashful or reticent. You are a 



190 Astrological Birthday Book 

very loving nature, and would make a splendid match 
for one who wants a constant, loyal and true life-partner. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Thomas Gainsborough. 



SEPTEMBER 14. 

You are one of those persons who spend a great part 
of their lives in a world of thought, rather than of action. 
If you are in the business world, you are a planner, a 
schemer, the man behind the gun, who plans and leaves 
the carrying out of your ideas to others. You are very 
original, and will doubtless find a fascination in inven- 
tions of all sorts. Probably you will invent a great many 
things yourself. You are attracted by science in all its 
branches, and also philosophy and metaphysics. You are 
a great reader, and would like to bury youiself in some 
great library, and read there to your heart's content. 
The occult and psychic form a subject of intense fas- 
cination for you; you are never tired of probing into 
these mysteries, and trying to ascertain the real cause 
behind what you see. You have a reflective mind, and a 
keen vision into the lives and motives of others. You 
did not try to make money, in all probability, during the 
early part of your life, as you were taken up with the 
things of the mind, but you will later on, and you will 
never be in want, as enough always seems to be provided 
for you. You are not naturally demonstrative in your 
affection, but you have a strong passional nature; and 
could be very loving, if you could only be made to see 
these from the point of view of the other person. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Cornelius Agrippa. 



SEPTEMBER 15. 

You have a forceful personality, one which will carry 
you anywhere. You take responsibility lightly, and are 



Astrological Birthday Book 191 

not worried over trifles. You have rather a hearty, 
happy-go-lucky disposition, which is fortune, as you will 
need all your powers and all your reserve forces for the 
work you have to do in life. You are doubtless inter- 
ested in politics, if a man, and are destined to rise to a 
position of eminence in that line. No less than two living 
presidents and several statesmen of note are born on 
this day. This shows that your life should be one of 
action, and one in which you go out and live and move 
among men, where you will be of popular interest as 
this is the life you are suited for. You are destined to 
experience many odd things in your life — I mean by this 
strange and weird things which would not happen to 
any other man or woman. You have a good sense for 
news, and would make an excellent reporter. You are 
calm and shrewd, when occasion, demands, and quick to 
form judgments and conclusions. You would also make 
an excellent detective, as you have all the necessary quali- 
fications. You are very devoted in your attachments, 
and no one could be more loyal and true than you. You 
have a strongly developed love nature; which demands 
expression. You should marry young. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 
Ex-Pres. Taft and Diaz. 



SEPTEMBER 16. 

You have very good taste, if born this day, and care 
only for the best of everything — the best music, the best 
literature, the best opera, the best clothes. You are, 
in fact, an aristocrat by nature, and feel that you are a 
little different from those around you ; yet you are demo- 
cratic too, and kind and sympathetic to all in trouble or 
distress. You have a great sense of justice; are fond of 
animals, and love the country. Doubtless you are a 
good athlete, or ought to be if you are not. If a woman, 
you are clever and inclined to be caustic and say cutting 
things about those in your circle of aquaintances — a 



192 Astrological Birthday Book 

habit which above all others you need to eradicate from 
your mental make-up. You are affectionate, emotional, 
and inclined to be a bit of a flirt. You are fond of 
clothes, of a gay life, with its attendant pleasures. You 
cannot bear to be alone, and always seek the society and 
company of others. You are clever with your hands, 
and might make quite a conjuror or magician, if you 
you are at all interested in that sort of thing. You are 
fond of reading, but only the lighter sort of books, and 
you rather neglect your intellect. You must exercise the 
greatest caution in marriage, as the whole of your life, 
its weal or woe, depends upon your selection. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
James J. Hill. 



SEPTEMBER 17. 

You have a wide range of interests, and are doubtless 
interested in the exact sciences. You have a retentive 
memory, and have a fine power for generalization. You 
are a home lover, and do not care so much for foreign 
travel, as this means parting with fireside and your be- 
loved home life. You are very magnanimous, and fair 
in all dealings. You are quick of perception, and grasp 
a situation quickly. You have a good deal of business 
ability, and should enter this life with a definite goal in 
view, which you can doubtless attain. You are affec- 
tionate and the love side of your nature is prominently 
developed. You doubtless have a good figure, if a 
woman, and your fancies out of the ordinary — vivacious, 
piquant, alert and at times mischievous. You are de- 
monstrative in your affection. You are fond of children 
and would make a splendid mother. You are a good 
manager, and can find a bargain if there is one to be 
had in your city. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Buffon, the famous naturalist. 



Astrological Birthday Book 193 

SEPTEMBER 18. 

You are studious, careful in money matters, and cau- 
tious in all business affairs. You are optimistic, and 
inclined to look upon the bright side of everything. You 
dislike trouble and noise of all kinds, and are rather 
inclined to retire to your own room with a book, or 
your own thoughts, and think out life and your own 
future to your hearts' content. You indulge a good 
deal in day dreams, and are far from satisfied with your 
present surroundings. Learn that all possibilities lurk 
within yourself, and that you have only to exercise 
the reserve powers which He latent within you to achieve 
a great success. You have a bad habit of thinking the 
worst of people until the best is proved about them. You 
should take the opposite standpoint, and always give 
them the benefit of the doubt until the contrary is estab- 
lished. You have a deep nature, and feel that all the 
cares of the world rest upon your shoulders, at times. 
Do not be too serious with yourself; not too self-analyti- 
cal. Take life as it comes and develop a sense of humor. 
You will find this a saving grace and a great help at 
times, in spite of yourself. "Laugh and the World 
laughs with you, weep and you weep alone," you know. 
There is every indication that your marriage will be 
a very happy one. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Clay Ide, an eminent American jurist. 



SEPTEMBER 19. 

You have a good business head, and are farseeing in 
this direction. You should get into business for your- 
self as soon as possible, as you will never be successful 
or contented, otherwise. You will travel a great deal 
during your lifetime. You are attractive to the opposite 
sex, and there seems to be a certain magnetism about 
you which draws certain people to you, in a remarkable 



194 Astrological Birthday Book 

manner — sometimes in a way you do not care for. You 
are very ambitious, and desire to take a leading part in 
all that you enter upon to undertake. You are pleasure 
loving, and are never so happy as when going out with 
a party of friends, to a near-by restaurant, or when en- 
tertaining them in your own home. Yet you are literary 
and fond of reading. You are musical, and might sing 
well. The stage has a strange fascination for you, as 
you seek movement, excitement and stimulation. You 
are self-reliant, and do not care to take advice from 
others. You must be careful of your health; and be 
cautious when on the water, as the indications are that 
you will meet with several serious accidents in that 
manner. You have good powers as an organizer, and 
could manage a business of your own well. You would 
make a good public speaker; and if a man should enter 
politics. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
William B. Astor. 



SEPTEMBER 20. 

You are a naturally strong character, and do not care 
much what the opinions of your neighbors may be. Pro- 
vided you think you are in the right, you will go ahead 
regardless of criticism. You are fond of money, and 
like the power which it brings. Early in life you should 
make up your mind as to what you want to do, and 
then bend every energy towards its accomplishment. You 
will never succeed if you scatter your forces, and do not 
force them all the time, and without intermission, in the 
object in view. Do not wait for things to turn. They 
will not turn up, as a rule, but will wait for you to turn 
them up. You must move and hustle; and remember 
that God helps those who help themselves. You are 
domesticated and home-loving. If a woman, you are 
true, loyal and rather intellectual. You should have a 



Astrological Birthday Book 195 

home of your own, which you can fix up according to 
your own taste. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Charles Carrol, the last to sign the Declaration of 
Independence. 



SEPTEMBER 21. 

You are above all literary, and books and works of 
art attract you as they do few others. You are fond of 
reading, and might be quite a connoisseur. You might 
write also, and if you do not do so, you should certainly 
cultivate your talent in that direction. Remember that 
the only way to learn to write is to write ; and no matter 
if you tear up everything you write for a year, keep 
at it and eventually you will become a proficient author. 
You are fond of history and have a good and retentive 
memory. If a woman, you are exceedingly fond of 
clothes, and have good judgment and discrimination as 
to the combination of colors and the artistic arrangement 
of one thing with another. You love beautifying a home, 
and show great skill in that direction. You have great 
powers of affection, and could make some soul-mate in- 
finitely happy. You are psychic and often have strange 
experiences and dreams, which are symbolic and seem to 
foretell future events. You have a great deal of tact 
and diplomacy. You are self-reliant, and believe in your 
own powers, which free you from many a trying position. 
The 13th of October will prove the happiest day of 
your life. 

Famous Person Eorn This Day. 

Edmund Gosse, the eminent literary critic. 



SEPTEMBER 22. 

You are rather too wavering in your thoughts to 
achieve success, as you are at present constituted. You 



196 Astrological Birthday Book 

must learn to concentrate, to focus your forces, and not 
to scatter them over so wide an area of interests. You 
must depend more upon yourself; remember that the 
good saying is true: "Unstable as water thou shalt not 
succeed." You must have one goal, one ambition in life 
and stick to that. You are inclined to think and criticise 
inwardly, and not to be outspoken enough in your deal- 
ings with others. Cultivate greater frankness and open- 
ness of manner. You are fond of the good things of 
this life, and nothing suits you better than to spend the 
day in the country, and then go to some good place for 
dinner. You are fond of camping, and can spend whole 
days sitting quietly by the side of the river or a lake, 
fishing. If a woman, you must take pains with yourself, 
and keep yourself always looking your prettiest and most 
attractive, and never allow yourself to fall below a 
certain standard of excellence, as it will surely react 
upon yourself. You should marry by preference those 
born in May, June or December. The onyx or moon- 
stone are the stones you should wear — in a ring if a 
woman, or in a scarf pin, if a man. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 
Faraday and James Bowdoin. 



SEPTEMBER 23. 

You are full of charm and personal magnetism, and if 
a woman you will doubtless have a host of admirer:. 
You are winsome, and have a charm all your own. You 
are good company, and doubtless very popular in the 
circle in which you move. You are fond of clothes, and 
play the peacock a good deal when you have a new suit, 
before the mirror. You are fond of society, and there 
can never be too many in the party to suit you. You 
are a good deal of a flirt on the side, but a harmless one. 
You are capable of feeling deeply, and will doubtless 
ultimately settle down and marry happily. Be very 



Astrological Birthday Book 197 

careful in your selection of a mate, for your whole future 
happiness will depend upon your discrimination. If a 
man, you will have a good commercial, head, and should 
be successful in business. You are capable of under- 
taking big ventures, and have that assurance which is so 
necessary in projects of the kind. You have a strong 
personality ; and will surely win in the long run. Every 
man will have his hour. Yours will come. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Wm. de Witt Hyde, President of Bowdoin College. 



SEPTEMBER 24. 

You are very straightforward and honest, and your 
word is always as good as your written promise. You 
must learn the importance of habits, either good or bad, 
as they are very hard to break, when once formed, and 
they play a large part in our lives. You are inclined to 
talk too much ; remember that "silence is the fence round 
wisdom," and that "a small coin in a large jar makes a 
great noise." You must learn to say little and do much. 
If a woman, you must rise superior to the impulse to 
talk scandal, and especially to say unkind things about 
others. This is your greatest weakness. The Talmud 
says: "To slander is to commit murder." It is true, 
You are fond of children, and should marry fairly young. 
You are impressionistic, and open to external influences 
of all sorts, which you must fight against. If a woman, 
you would look well in white, yellow and various shades 
of mauve. Do not be afraid of saying the truth, no 
matter what it costs. It may create a storm ; but re- 
member that a storm dispels clouds. Act upon your 
own judgment; yet do not repel the advice of others. 
A wise man receives instruction from all sources, an-i 
decides himself which he will act upon. Yours should be 
a successful life. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 

Zachary Taylor and J. Marshall. 



198 Astrological Birthday Book 

SEPTEMBER 25. 

You are literary, poetical, and could write good poetry 
if you had the necessary application. You are excite- 
able, and lack balance. If a woman, you might be hys- 
terical at times and cannot make up your mind as you 
should upon the course of action to pursue. You lean 
too much upon others; and must learn to stand more 
firmly upon your own feet. You have great talents, 
and ought to make a success of your life, as it all lies 
within you, and only needs to be brought out. You 
take life as it comes ; and do not think or plan ahead as 
much as you should. You must learn the value of 
money, and should early cultivate the habit of saving, 
as later on you will, regret it if you do not. You are 
rather open to flattery, but only if there is a certain 
justification for it. You are interested in odd things, 
and have many interests which are not at all shared by 
those about you. You have a complete inner life going 
on within you, which no one seems able to share with 
you. You are a good deal of a day dreamer and not 
as practical as you should be on that account. You 
will have a certain amount of business success if a man, 
and will probably come in for a sum of money very 
unexpectedly when about twenty-two years of age. At 
twenty-eight you ought to be well off. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

F. Hemans, the noted poet. 



SEPTEMBER 26. 

You are sincere, thorough and businesslike in all you 
do. There is a powerful impetus working within you, 
urging you on to higher and noble things. You aie 
naturally religious and all nature seems to show you the 
work of a master hand. You are literary, could write 
well, and love books. You are fond of travel, but also 
of your own fireside; and after you have seen a good 



Astrological Birthday Book 199 

deal of the world, you tire of it, and come back to your 
own home with zest and comfort. You have a good 
deal of personal magnetism and charm ; and are strongly 
drawn to the opposite sex. They in turn find you con- 
genial, and you will be thrown a great deal into each 
other's society. You are affectionate and fond of child- 
ren. Animals seem to take to you, somehow; knowing 
that you like them. You are probably interested in 
Eastern thought and might belong to some Oriental 
sect. You have great executive power, and will doubt- 
less make a success in business. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Wm. Henry Milburn, author and clergyman. 



SEPTEMBER 27. 

You are optimistic, and try always to look ;On the 
sunny side of things. You are interested in the drama 
and the glare of the footlights have a charm and a fas- 
cination for you which is i not easily resisted. You have 
strong emotions, and have a temper of your own too, 
which is rather too easily; aroused. Do not be so sensitive 
to the remarks and glances of others. You must learn to 
be more frank in your dealings with others. You suffer 
much inwardly, often, when it would be quite easy to 
put straight the matter which is troubling you the most. 
You are pretty and attractive if a woman, and there are 
doubtless several who consider you more than fascinat- 
ing. Do not be in a hurry to get married ; -as you should 
not force your fate, but wait and see what She dictates. 
You are fond of music, and might play the piano well. 
You are fond of the country and outdoor life, and the 
city does not have the same attraction for you that it 
does for many. You have many friends, and deserve 
their friendship. Do not be too close in money matters 
as there is plenty more where the last came from, if you 
only hold your mind in the right attitude, and it will 



200 Astrological Birthday Book 

come to you. Feel rich ; inside, and you will attract to 
you. You will not have to go after it. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

George Wharton James. 



SEPTEMBER 28. 

You are kind and sincere; sympathetic and would 
make a good nurse, if a woman. You are intensely in- 
terested in your fellow beings, and cannot bear to see 
them suffer, or to be downtrodden as they often are, 
in our great cities. You attract people to you by sheer 
force of personality. You are literary, musical and 
artistic. You are psychic and impressionistic. You are 
subtle in your perception, and penetrate deeply into the 
roots of things. You have a very deep nature, which 
few can appreciate or understand. Often you feel that 
a burden is weighing upon your soul, which it is impos- 
sible to remove; as though the cares of the world were 
placed upon your shoulders. Try not to let this influence 
you. You can do a tremendous amount of work even if 
it is uncongenial ; and have the faculty of making your- 
self do things which are not natural or congenial to you. 
You are naturally domesticated, systematic, and have 
law and order wherever you go. You should have a 
brilliant future waiting for you, and will doubtless at- 
tain it, if you live up to the best that is in you. You 
are sensitive, and feel things keenly. You should start 
in some business of your own as early in life as possible, 
as you will never be happy working for others. Have 
a higher estimate upon your own value. 

Famous Person Born This Day

r Astrological Birthday Book 201 

SEPTEMBER 29. 

You are positive, self-assertive, and strong-willed. Be 
careful, however not to mistake pig-headedness for de- 
termination — a common fault. Learn to analyse your- 
self, and make up your mind to eradicate any faults of 
character which you may possess. You desire money, 
and the power which money brings. If a man, you are 
inclined to be stern, and somewhat of a disciplinarian ; in 
fact, you have almost a military precision about things. 
In your business to your family, and a lover of domestic 
life. You are calm and serene, and nothing stirs you up 
as it does some peopL. You have confidence in your own 
abilities, which are well Justified. You must be careful 
of your physical health, or your nerves will go to pieces. 
You should marry fairly young, as this is the life suited 
to you. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Lord Nelson. 



SEPTEMBER 30. 

You are fond of the good things of this life, being 
pleasure loving. You are capable of ascending to great 
and sublime heights and on the contrary capable of de- 
scending to the lowest of all depths. You mus,t be very 
careful as to the guard you keep over yourself, therefore, 
for this, is your nature. You are enthusiastic, impression- 
able, and subject to psychic impressions. You are a 
great reader and a lover of books. ,You are affectionate, 
and your love nature is very well developed — almost too 
much so. If a woman, you must be careful that what 
appears to you harmless flirtations do not run into some- 
thing more serious. You are winsome and fascinating 
to those of the opposite sex. You are fond of clothes ; 
love light and color, and plenty of society. You have 
a will of your own, and are determined to make it felt. 
You are musical and might make a good performer upon 
the violin or cello. You are dramatic, and the stage is 



202 Astrological Birthday Book 

very alluring at all times. If a man, you are fortunate 
rather than wise in business; and often rush in where 
angels fear to tread but generally come out all right. 
But remember that you can never rule others until you 
have learned to rule yourself. Learn self-mastery. It 
is the hardest of all battles to win; but the most cred- 
itable. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Senator Quay, the noted politician. 



OCTOBER 1. 

Born this day, you have strong intuitions, and are 
extremely psychic. You have a strong mind, and a very 
determined will. If a woman, you have almost a mascu- 
line way of looking at things, and are severe in your 
mode of life. There are none of the usual frills and 
furbelows about you. You are intensely interested in 
science and philosophy; also in religious questions, par- 
ticularly the religions of the Orient, and if any new sect 
comes along you want to investigate and then join it. You 
are clear headed, and not very emotional. You carry 
out your plans and run your life largely by feeling and 
intuition. You will have many ups and downs in your 
life, and several reversals of fortune. But you keep a 
stiff upper lip through it all, and when you have finally 
succeeded and triumphed over all obstacles, no one can 
point at you and say that you were ever a "quitter." 
You are intellectual and clever. You are affectionate, 
and capable of deep love, but you do not carry your 
heart on your sleeve in the way many do. You have 
strong opinions ; but these are always governed by your 
intelllect ; and not by your heart. You should have a very 
interesting exciting, and eventful life; see much of the 
world, and know its people.

You are impulsive, inspirational and fond of all the 
fine and subtle things of life. You are sensitive and feel 
things keenly. You are extremely fond of music and all 
things artistic. You are sincere and persevering. You 
are wise in the wisdom of this world, and capable of 
giving good and sound advice, only you do not do so 
unless you are asked. You are sympathetic, and inter- 
ested in the lives of others. You are tender, loving and 
ingratiate yourself with others without trying to do so. 
You are dignified, calm and serene ; you have a certain 
dignity about you which seems natural, and which few 
dare pierce. You have a good memory and seldom for- 
get a name or a face. If you ever fall in love it will 
be a bad case, as you will be able to think of nothing 
else during the period of your infatuation. Your life 
should prove a great success; you deserve it. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Franz Liszt. 



OCTOBER 3. 

You are a very all-round character. You have good 
business sense, and always capable of getting money 
equivalent for the work you do. Yet you are not pri- 
marily a business man or woman; you are interested 
chiefly in other things. You are musical, artistic, love 
fine painting; read good books; are psychic, intuitive, 
and fond of society. You love beauty ; and this is true 
equally of men and women born this day. You have a 
good memory. You are fond of history, interested in 
people, and understanding their trials and sorrows. You 
are a good listener, but inclined to talk of yourself. Yon 
should give more and receive less. When you are in 
company, for instance, you often sit quiet and take in 
what others are saying, while it is within your power to 
change the conversation, and make it interesting, but you 
do not care to take the pains and make the effort to do 



204 Astrological Birthday Book 

so. Think and analyse less, and act more. You have 
a clever brain but there are many other people in the 
world who have clever brains also. You must be careful 
of your health, and particularly your lungs, which are 
your weak spot. Take a few deep breathing exercises 
every day of your life, and be out of doors as much as 
possible. You have great possibilities within you ; culti- 
vate these ; live up to them ; and success will undoubted- 
ly be yours. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 

Lillian Whiting and Bancroft, the historian. 



OCTOBER 4. 

You have good judgment; are interested in practical 
things; and might make a fine mechanician. You are 
original and inventive. You have a good speaking voice ; 
and should excel in debate. For this reason, if away, 
you might make a first rate lawyer. You have the ability 
to detect inaccuracies, and would make an excellent de- 
tective. If you cultivated the art of writing, you would 
also make a good newspaper reporter or correspondent. 
If a woman, you have shrewd common sense, and can 
make a little go a long way. You display taste and 
originality in your clothes. You are fond of colors, and 
your home is always neat and tidy. You have a good 
intellect, and might shine in a club, and be one of the 
ruling spirits there. You are quick-tempered ; and this 
you must learn to curb, as you can often do more harm 
in one instant than you can undo in your whole lifetime, 
by saying some cruel, unkind word. Pay less attention 
to the faults of commission, and more to the faults of 
omission. Remember above all that charity begins at 
home ; and if you wish to put any of your novel ideas 
into operation, there is no place more suited than your 



Astrological Birthday Book 205 

own hearth and home. It would do you good to read 
some New Thought literature. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Guizot, the noted historian. 



OCTOBER 5. 

You are a hard worker, and inclined to overdo a good 
thing, when you have one on hand. If a man, you might 
be interested in politics, and might make your mark 
therein, if you entered its ranks. You are a true friend, 
but speak out your mind with brutal frankness at times. 
Remember that some people are preternaturally sensitive 
in this respect; and what you say hurts. You lead an 
active, busy life, and cannot understand those who spend 
their lives in idle dreams. You are eminently common- 
sensed. You are drawn to the opposite sex in a manner 
you do not understand. You cannot understand why 
this should be so. Be careful of train travel and excur- 
sion trips. The third of January will be the happiest day 
in your life. You will travel much and inherit a small 
sum of money early in your twenties. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Chester A. Arthur. 



OCTOBER 6. 

Born this day you are emotional, dramatic and always 
interesting. You are witty and original. If you had 
lived in the French Court days, you would have run a 
salon with great success and achieved social eminence. 
As it is, you shine in the social circle in which you move 
and are doubtless always a popular figure in it. You 
are musical, and should have a good singing voice. You 
are also dramatic and the stage draw's and fascinates 



206 Astrological Birthday Book 

you in a peculiar manner. You will never succeed in 
life unless you follow your natural bent. Otherwise it 
will be like kicking against the pricks. You must find 
out, early on in life, what you can do best and stick to 
this through thick and thin. You are intensely curious, 
and are never satisfied until you have found out all there 
is to be known about a person; or, if your interest is 
more personal, you would make a splendid investigator 
or scientific inquirer. You are rather apt to indulge 
in scandal; but there are few habits in life which are 
more pernicious than this and few which grow on one 
more than this one. You are intuitive, and you can 
afford to follow these inner promptings with safety. 
You have good taste and judgment in your clothes, 
whether you be a man or a woman. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Jenny Lind, the famous singer. 



OCTOBER 7. 

You are a forceful character; self -centered and de- 
termined. You never let an opportunity slip by you, but 
grasp it by the forelock, which is the only way in which 
Opportunity can be caught. You are kind and sympa- 
thetic and would make a good doctor. You have the 
faculty of stating things clearly and simply and for this 
reason would make a good master or school mistress. 
You will doubtless travel a great deal and see much of 
the world. You must be careful to keep your word on 
all occasions, no matter how insignificant they may ap- 
pear to you to be. You will thus be known as a "man 
of his word." You will probably make the most happy 
marriage with those born in October or January; but 
this is often governed by other considerations. Do not 
begin any new enterprise on the eleventh of the month, 
if you can help it. You will doubtless be successful in a 
financial way — so much so, in fact, that others will fight 



Astrological Birthday Book 207 

over the money you will leave when you die. Much of 
this will be made as the result of a chance remark, you 
heard by accident, during a trip "West that you make. So 
keep your ears open. You are, if a woman, eminently 
charming and have a fine form and good features. Keep 
yourself in good condition ; and never let your com- 
plexion suffer. Eat simple plain foods ; and not too 
much of them. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Charles XII, of Sweden. 



OCTOBER 8. 

You have great ability in certain directions, and this 
constitutes a veritable genius, in a way, since genius has 
been described as the infinite ability for taking pains. 
You have, in all probability, a striking pair of eyes, and 
you are marked with a mole on your left side near the 
small of the back. You are inclined to believe too much, 
and must be careful that you are not deceived on some 
occasion, when it may mean much to you. You have a 
strong imagination, which is capable of working wonders 
for one at times. You are quick, apt, rapid at learning 
anything, and moderate in all things. You see every- 
thing that goes on around you, though you may not 
appear to. You are possessed of a good business head 
and have much foresight. You are witty and inclined 
to be caustic, on occasion. You will probably marry- 
twice, or even three times ; and have children by each 
marriage. You are capable of doing much better things 
than you are called to do at present. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 

John Hay and Clarence Steadman, the literary 

critic. 



208 Astrological Birthday Book 

OCTOBER 9. 

You have a keen sense of humor, and take things very 
much as they come, without worrying any too much 
about them. You are witty, caustic and cynical, and 
inclined to say cutting things about people — a habit from 
which you should certainly cure yourself, as although 
what you say is intended largely in jest, they sometimes 
hurt, just the same. You yourself feel things keenly, 
and are quite a creature of moods. You are fond of 
reading, especially fiction and humor of all sorts. You 
are a good mimic, and have a good deal of talent in the 
direction of acting ; the stage has always exerted a certain 
charm and fascination over you, which is never wholly 
dispelled. If a woman, you show good taste and a great 
deal of discrimination in your judgment; and you can 
doubtless trim a hat or fix over a dress as cleverly as 
any professional. You are fond of music, and should be 
able to perform yourself. You must be careful of the 
month of May, which is not a fortunate one for you. 
Tuesdays are not the best days in the week for you, 
either. You are dreamy and impressional, and often 
have odd dreams, which are worth recording. Make a 
note of those which are particularly vivid, and see if 
nothing comes of them. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

-Cervantes, author of "Don Quixote." 



OCTOBER 10. 

You are very persistent and determined in your efforts 
- — even pig-headed at times in your wilfulness. You have 
a good deal of natural power, and others respect you, 
even fear you, though you may not be universally be- 
loved. You are doubtless interested in politics and all 
currents of the day. You are restless ; a wanderer, and do 
not care for home life as much as you do roving about 
the face of the earth. You have romantic ideas in youth, 



Astrological Birthday Book 209 

which probably express themselves in seeking for lost 
or buried treasure ; or in exploring underground passages 
or little known caves. You are brave and fearless in this 
direction. You are doubtless fond of the water, and 
would make a splendid swimmer. It is hard for you to 
remain in any one place long at a time, as the restless 
spirit soon gets hold of you. You are intuitional, and 
would do well to follow these leadings more fully. You 
will doubtless be a great traveller, and see much of the 
world, from every point of view. You are kind and 
generous ; sympathetic and always ready when there is 
any emergency or danger. You are resourceful, and 
know exactly what to do at such times. If a woman, 
you are self-contained, quiet and reserved. You are one 
of the few women who can keep a secret. You are 
doubtless very interested in all psychic and occult mani- 
festations, and might belong to a sect such as Theosophy. 
You are extremely attractive to the opposite sex ; but 
should not marry too young. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 

Nansen and Kruger, last President of the Transvaal. 



OCTOBER 11. 

You are conscientious and thorough, and never give 
up a thing until it is well done. You are artistic and 
have a great deal of temperament. You are extremely 
musical, and should be able to compose. You are original 
and inventive; if a man, interested in mechanical devices; 
if a woman, interested in such things as jewelry making, 
bookbinding, and anything connected with the arts and 
crafts movement. You are literary, and ought to be 
able to write. You are a good deal of a Bohemian, and 
love studio life. You should have a good fling at this 
early in life, as later on you will grow tired of it, and 
want to settle down in a comfortable little home of your 
own; whereas if you had never tasted the joys of the 



210 Astrological Birthday Book 

artistic life, you would always be craving them. Marry; 
but not too young. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Theodore Thomas, musical composer and director. 



OCTOBER 12. 

You are emotional, dramatic, and fond of the stage. 
You have a great deal of spirit and temperament — real 
temperament, that is, and not any make-believe. You 
have a good mind, and if a man, might be interested in 
scientific things — particularly the exact sciences, such as 
physics, chemistry, etc. There is a strikingly religious 
vein running through your nature, which shows itself 
every now and then in spite of yourself. You feel things 
very keenly, and are capable of a deep and lasting love. 
You are not one of the fickle kind, who carry their hearts 
on their sleeves; for, while you are capable of a few 
harmless flirtations during your young days, you never 
•let these affect you seriously, or allow yourself to feel 
too deeply. You are many-sided in your interests; you 
are fond of books, art, clothes, and a variety of other 
subjects. Yet you are domestic, if a woman. If a man, 
you have a good business head, and if you are wise are 
careful and should succeed in accumulating quite a little 
money during your lifetime — enough, that is to obtain 
all you desire. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 

Christopher Columbus, Mme. Modjeska and Hugh 
Miller, the noted author. 



OCTOBER 13. 

You are fond of young people, and understand them 
as few do. You can think clearly, and can express what 



Astrological Birthday Book 211 

you know in plain, simple language. You also have 
much patience. For these reasons you are eminently 
fitted to become a teacher or instructor; or be in some 
position where you can impart information to others. 
You are interested in sport of all kinds ; and if a man 
should be strong of body. You are doubtless graceful 
and slim, with a good figure. You can adapt yourself 
to new situations, and can fit in anywhere, doing the 
work you are given creditably and easily. You are deft 
with your fingers, and if a woman, you would make an 
expert stenographer and typewriter. You are accurate, 
and can remember a thing when you have once seen or 
heard it. Your memory is remarkable. You are in- 
terested in all new inventions and improvements, par- 
ticularly those of a scientific nature. You are true and 
loyal, and exceedingly affectionate in your disposition. 
You should marry a go-ahead man, if a woman, though 
you could stimulate him into success, no matter who he 
was. As a man, you would be a splendid worker ; active 
and energetic, and should be eminently successful in that 
line. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
John Wesley Hoyt, the American educator. 



OCTOBER 14. 

You are practical and intelligent, quick and have fine 
perceptions. You are a practical nature, and inclined to 
disregard those who have dreams, and are ultra-radical 
and idealistic. There is not much poetry or romance 
about you. You are capable of loving deeply, but it will 
be more on a matter of fact basis, and due to compati- 
bility of temperament rather than because you are car- 
ried away by an excess of emotion. Your heart does not 
run far away from your head. This does not mean that 
you are calculating in any way; only you are matter of 
fact, and have had enough experience with life to know 



212 Astrological Birthday Book 

what it means. If a man, you ought to be in public life, 
as an office of this kind is exactly what you need to bring 
out the best in you. You could make an excellent 
speaker or orator. You will come in touch with many 
people who can and will help you; and will be left a 
small sum of money when about twenty-seven years of 
age. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
William Penn. 



OCTOBER 15. 

You have very good common sense, good judgment, 
and certain business ability which carries you through 
anything you may undertake. Yet the commercial life 
is not that which is most suited to you. You are in- 
terested in a variety of other subjects. You are literary 
and ought to make a good writer. You are scientific, 
and interested in metaphysical subjects and especially 
so in the unseen and supernatural. You are esthetic, and 
dislike anything connected with the reptile world, or 
anything unpleasant. You would make a good doctor 
or a good nurse, theoretically, but the practical side of 
the subject does not appeal to ,you in the same way, and 
will probably prevent you from entering this field al- 
together. If you enter business, you should have a 
partner who looks after all the business details; which 
you are not suited for. In spite of this fact, however, 
you will probably get along very well in life, as you 
have a host of friends, and are ingenious and inventive. 
You are generous, and spend money freely when you 
have it. Learn to save. So do not be in a hurry to 
marry; there is plenty of , time. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Frederic William IV, of Prussia. 



Astrological Birthday Book 213 

OCTOBER 16. 

You are poetical, literary, and a great lover of books. 
You are fond of children. You are not as practical as 
you should be; too easy going; and this is sometimes 
misunderstood by those about you, and advantage taken 
of that fact. You must learn to stand up for your rights, 
and value yourself more fully. You have considerable 
talent. Value these at their proper worth. The world 
estimates a man at the estimate he places upon himself. 
Learn greater self-confidence. You are magnetic, and 
charming; and are doubtless fascinating to those of the 
opposite sex. Cultivate greater frankness and straight- 
forwardness. You are capable of loving very deeply if 
you can only find the partner for whom you are in search. 
Do not fear ; your heart will tell you when he comes. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Whitcomb Riley, the author. 



OCTOBER 17. 

Born this day you should have a great future. You 
inherit good brain power, above the ordinary, and 
you will not be doing justice to yourself unless you 
exert your brain faculties to their utmost limit. Con- 
centrate ; concentrate must be your watchword ; and yet, 
paradoxical as it may sound, your view-points and your 
outlook on affairs must be as broad as possible. Know 
a little of everything but concentrate on one thing. Also 
at the same time plan always a little ahead of time. Do 
this and your life will be like a noble river, growing 
deeper and richer and fuller as the years roll on. You 
are very sympathetic and everyone finds it easy to confide 
in you. In fact many persons take advantage of your 
good nature and impose upon your time and patience. 
Assert yourself, take the lead as it were, and guide 
matters into better channels as far as lies in your power ; 
you should ''lend out your brain" as it were, for you 



214 Astrological Birthday Book 

are very modest and do not value the great gifts which 
nature has bestowed upon you. You are very industrious 
at times, and have extraordinary staying powers. You 
are immensly attractive to the opposite sex. Dark blue 
is your favorite color. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Hon. T. B. Reed, the noted politician. 



OCTOBER 18. 

You are one of the progressive type of men; you like 
to be always actively engaged; your mind reaches out 
ahead of the times, looking to the future; trivial things 
and affairs do not interest you in the least. You are 
always planning things for the future, and if you are 
careful in your choice of associates in your enterprises 
you should assuredly attain success of the best kind, 
and make a mark in your day and generation. Remem- 
ber the little kindnesses that you may do as you go along 
in life. Do not forget the rights of others, respect their 
jdesires and wishes and so in later life you may have 
nothing to reproach yourself with. In money matters 
you are generous. Remember to take care of your health 
as you will need much vitality. You are affectionate, and 
very fond of children. You are fond of books, and 
always find time for reading, however busy you may be. 
Your dreams are strange at times, and seem to hint at 
some special significance. Believe in yourself, and others 
will soon come to your assistance in all your undertak- 
ings. Trust in Providence, and do your best to bring 
out all the powers that are in you, and you will be 
startled at the result. Your fortunate day is Tuesday. 
Your color is red, also blue. Your nature is not that 
of the marrying kind and you would make a better 
uncle than a father — or aunt than a mother. 
Famous Person Born This Day 

Andre, the aeronaut. 



Astrological Birthday Book 215 

OCTOBER 19. 

You are forceful and original, and ideas fairly sizzle 
in your head — there are so many. You are a natural 
investigator, and have a keen eye for detail. You would 
make a good newspaper reporter or a detective of rare 
ability and courage. You are doubtless interested in 
politics, and have a good speaking voice. You have a 
great deal of personal magnetism, and attract friends to 
you from both sexes. You are affectionate, and desire 
much the society of young people about you all the time 
— as much when you grow older as when you are young 
yourself. You are careful and shrewd in business affairs, 
and you should make yourself an independent fortune 
before many years pass by, if you stick to business. You 
will doubtless see a great deal of the world in your 
travels, but the place which fascinates you most of all, 
in all probability, is Egypt, with its silent Sphinx and 
its timeless Pyramids. You have a quick temper and 
are inclined to be irritable, at times. This is largely due 
to poor health; take care of your liver; eat simple foods, 
and take plenty of exercise. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
John Adams. 



OCTOBER 20. 

You are strong willed and do not like interference 
with your way of doing things. If a man, you are rather 
stern, and almost military in your love of discipline. 
You are courageous, and always have a clear head when- 
ever an accident happens, or trouble is in the wind. You 
are a good logician, and can argue well. You are quiet 
and reserved, and rather inclined to pick holes in other 
people — a fault of which you should cure yourself. You 
have good executive ability, and will certainly make a 
success of any business you undertake. You are rather 
a plunger, and take many chances which another would 
•shrink from taking. Yet you always win out, somehow ; 



216 Astrological Birthday Book 

as luck seems to be in your favor. You are extremely 
musical, and fond of the artistic life and surroundings. 
You are affectionate, and demonstrative in your affec- 
tion. You are rather a flirt, and wear your heart on 
your sleeve a good deal ; but you are capable of genuine 
and deep affection, and this will be apparent when you 
meet the one. You are practical and matter-of-fact. 
You take responsibility easily, and should make a success 
of your life, if only you live up to the best standards and 
ideals that are within you. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 

Colin Campbell and Oliver Ditson. 



OCTOBER 21. 

You are witty and caustic, and have great insight into 
human nature — its actions and motives, ^ou are literary, 
and might write exceedingly well. You are witty, mag- 
netic, and can keep a room full of people in roars of 
laughter with your manner in telling a story. You are a 
good mimic, and would do well on the stage. You lack a 
certain push and self assertiveness which is necessary 
for you to have. You have a deep inner nature, which 
is not 1 easily touched or got at; and few know of its 
existence. You always feel that you should be in other 
circumstances and surroundings than those which now 
encircle you. If you had the right stimulus and start 
in life, you could accomplish great things. If a woman, 
you are rather too timid and retiring; and must learn 
to push yourself forward more, and make your personal- 
ity felt by those about you. They do not value you at 
your true worth, because they have never realized what 
you can do. You would be very happy in a little home 
of your own ; but you must select, as a life partner, one 
whose temperament is very similar to your own, other- 
wise disaster would result. Those born in the same 
month would suit you far better than any other. You 



Astrological Birthday Book 217 

are dainty, if a woman, pretty, slim and graceful. You 
will never grow to be stout, in all probability. You 
are generous in your praise, and rarely say an unkind 
word about another. Sound your own praises a little 
more. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Lamartine, the noted French author. 



OCTOBER 22. 

You are energetic, enthusiastic, and full of vim and 
fire. You are emotional and dramatic, and would make 
a success upon the stage, in all probability. Your mind 
wears out your body, and you must be very careful to 
keep your body healthy — up to par, and not become ner- 
vously exhausted. You like city life, and cannot stand 
the country for very long at a time but every summer 
you like to go away and lie on the grass or in the 
sand and bask in the sun. You are capable and fill any 
position in which you are placed with credit. Your 
passional nature is very strong; and you can love deeply 
and fervently. Indeed, you must keep a close 1 watch on 
yourself in this direction, or your heart will lead you 
into' serious difficulties. You have a keen sense of humor, 
and always see a joke sooner than anyone else. You will 
have a very successful and exciting life — one 'which will 
contain many ups and downs, but a romantic and charm- 
ing one, nevertheless. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Sarah Bernhardt. 



OCTOBER 23. 

You are capable, original, and ingenious. You are fond 
of excitement, . and crave stimulation in one form or in 
another to an almost abnormal extent. Be careful that this 



218 Astrological Birthday Book 

craving does not master you, and get the best of your 
physical constitution. You are fond of the beautiful, and 
the poetic and esthetic appeal to you as to few others. 
You are a great talker, but always have something in- 
teresting to say. You have a good, mind and can see 
ahead as few can. You are magnetic, and if a woman 
you have a dashy, catching way about you which makes 
you greatly admired and sought by the opposite sex. 
You must be careful of travel by water, as there are 
indications that you will meet with a serious accident by 
that means sometime in your life. Your thirty-third year 
is a very precarious one, and there are indications that 
you will have a run of misfortune at that time. If you 
are careful, however, and save ahead a little for a rainy 
day, you will be tided over this time, and then every- 
thing will pick up and you will sail along beautifully. 
Be cautious in your business dealings ; and especially so 
of any man with one arm or some physical deformity. 
"A word to the wise !" 

Famous Person Born This Day 

E. W. Conable, the noted author. 



OCTOBER 24. 

You are very ambitious and desire to get ahead in life. 
In fact you are determined to do so if success is to be 
attained. You are shrewd, and have good business-sense. 
You are far-seeing, and can tell which way the wind 
blows. Be a diplomat, and jump with the cat, when she 
jumps. You are inclined to be moody, but you must 
cover up this side of yourself in action ; for the more 
you act the greater will be your success. There is a 
strong religious feeling running throughout your make- 
up ; and this governs your actions, to a certain extent. On 
some things you are inclined to be fanatical ; and cannot 
bear to have your word doubted in any way. You are 
a speaker: and if a man, you might make an excellent 



Astrological Birthday Book 219 

orator. If a woman, this will run more to the stage ; and 
you will doubtless be tempted in that direction. You 
should learn to be a little more open handed than you 
are especially about money matters. You are a great 
talker; but you naturally have something interesting to 
say. The indications are that you will travel a great 
deal. You must learn to be master of yourself more 
than you are; for this is the basis of all success. It is 
hard for you to say no; but here again you must be 
strong. You are not naturally affectionate but when 
once you have surrendered, and given your love, you 
love far more fervently than many others. Learn to 
look on the bright side of life, if possible. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Peter the Hermit. 



OCTOBER 25. 

You are a hard worker and have a splendid memory. 
You are fond of books and have a thirst for knowledge 
which is not easily quenched. You are not suited for 
work for others and early in life should set up in busi- 
ness for yourself. If a woman, you are fond of gay 
clothes, and have great taste and originality in arrang- 
ing them, and combining colors. You can trim a hat 
indeed as well as almost any professional milliner. You 
love excitement of all kinds ; and cannot bear a hum- 
drum life, which you may be compelled to lead. You 
feel that you are fitted for greater things; and in this 
you are quite right, as you have a great deal of natural 
talent. Learn to place confidence in yourself and your 
own judgment, which is good; and when you learnto 
trust your own powers, they will place you in a position 
of trust and great financial responsibility. This will be 
your making. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Macaulay, the historian. 



220 Astrological Birthday Book 

OCTOBER 26. 

You are by nature a reformer, and have strong con- 
victions and beliefs on a variety of topics. You believe 
that a number of our social and political affairs need 
readjusting, and that it is your duty to readjust them. 
Yet you are not at all a fanatic ; but go about what you 
desire to accomplish in a business-like and matter-of-fact 
way. You are a student; and particularly fond of 
science. You have a good head for figures, and should 
be a good mathematician. If you applied this practically, 
you could be a splendid engineer or expert accountant. 
You have a loving disposition, and nothing pleases you 
more than to travel in foreign countries. If a woman, 
you are especially attractive and winsome in your man- 
ner; and have a subtle charm about you which no one 
can define or designate. You would look well in red 
or all shades of pale gray or white. You are liberal and 
fearless; and, though naturally timid and retiring, you 
can be very strongminded when you feel that your rights 
are being infringed. You are a natural home-builder, 
and are fond of children. As a man, you would have 
a brilliant business career. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Edmund Halley, the astronomer. 



OCTOBER 27. 

You have great energy and determination, and ability 
to accomplish whatever you set out to bring about. You 
are very enthusiastic, and strong willed; and rather in- 
clined to like the lime-light. For all that, you are a 
very capable and competent person, and if you enter 
business life, you will make an undoubted success, and 
you have all the necessary qualities and a remarkable 
power of organization and execution. You have much 
personal magnetism, and often seem to hypnotise those 
in your immediate environment. You are a good force- 



Astrological Birthday Book 221 

ful speaker ; a clever writer, and fond of outdoor sports. 
You cannot bear restraint of any kind, and should set 
up in business for yourself early in life, if possible, as 
you will surely make it a success. You have a fierce 
temper, which you must learn to control. You are very 
domesticated, and if a woman are a natural housewife, 
and like nothing better than beautifying your home. 
Marry fairly early in life. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Theodore Roosevelt. 



OCTOBER 28. 

Yours will probably be a very interesting life, filled 
with incidents of unusual occurrences. Some of these will 
be happy; others just the reverse. You must learn to 
judge human nature; for if you do not, and place too 
much trust and faith in those about you, you will some 
day have a rude awakening. You will never accomplish 
anything great in your present position and occupation; 
you must change this, and become more free and inde- 
pendent before anything great can come to you. Then 
much will happen. You must learn not to chase bubbles, 
however, but learn the value of solid things, and the 
realities of life. You must learn to assert yourself 
more fully, and make your personality and powers more 
felt by those about you. If a woman, you should dress 
in delicate colors of all kinds, harmoniously blended. 
You should wear little jewelry, but that of the best. 
Cultivate a taste for reading ; as your intellect should be 
more fully developed. The moonstone and chrysolite 
would be the stones for you to wear. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Hans Egede, the apostle of Greenland. 



222 Astrological Birthday Book 

OCTOBER 29. 

You are quiet, reserved and dignified; cautious in 
all your undertakings, and inclined never to take a step 
until you feel the ground secure under your feet. It 
would be unwise, for you to speculate in any way, as 
one of your nature seldom has good fortune in this direc- 
tion. You are interested in humanity, and if a man, you 4 
are doubtless interested in social reforms of all kinds. 
You are fond of children; kind and sympathetic. You 
are a very good and shrewd business man, and will un- 
questionably make a good deal of money in your life 
time, by reason of the careful method you apply. You 
are inclined to get into a rut, instead of getting up and 
moving Heaven and Earth, in an attempt to better con- 
ditions; and this tendency to allow yourself to drift is 
the one, above all others, which you must learn to over- 
come. Remember that if you drift you drift with the 
tide ; and this will land you in the ocean of mediocrity, 
instead of raising you to the higher place, where you 
belong. If a woman, you probably have an animated, 
interesting and poetic face ; a willowy, supple form, 
which makes you bewitching to many of the opposite sex. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Thomas F. Bayard, the noted American Statesman. 



OCTOBER 30. 

You are kind, genial and cordial in your relations with 
others. Be careful that you are not imposed upon for 
that reason. You have a love for exact science, and 
should spend long hours at work in a laboratory, had 
you the time to do so. You have a good idea of your 
own opinion ; but this is to a great extent justified, as you 
are more clever than the majority in many ways, but 
not always more wise. You must learn to study human 
nature, and above all your own; for you know yourself 
less than anybody in the world. You will doubtless 



Astrological Birthday Book 223 

have a certain amount of business success, and are con- 
stantly inventing new ideas and schemes, which some- 
times work out and sometimes don't. You are clever 
at mechanics ; and are probably interested in all forms of 
invention. Often you are short-sighted in the very point 
on which you imagined you possessed the keenest vision. 
But "to err is human." You are very sensitive and feel 
things keenly. You have intellect and passion, but not 
much affection. Cultivate this latter. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 

Gambetta and Whitelaw Reid. 



OCTOBER 31. 

You ore very different from the being most people 
imagine you to be; and you are not true even to your- 
self. This does not mean that you are in any way 
disfaonest ; but you will not admit certain faults and 
characteristics which you really possess ; but which you 
wish to ignore. You are inclined to kick against the 
pricks, instead of -saying openly and frankly what it is 
that you do not like. You are capable of great things; 
on the contrary, you often fall to great depths. You 
dislike the faults in others, very often, which in fact 
you yourself possess. You must learn to see this clearly. 
You have a great deal of charm and magnetism; and 
can be very nice when you have to be. You are often 
silent for long periods together; and again you talk too 
much. You are capable of being a leader in your circle 
should you care to exert yourself; since you certainly 
have the latent ability. If a woman, you are domestic, 
loving and a good wife and mother. Read some New 
Thought literature; it will do you good. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Dr. Nicholas Senn, the famous physician. 



224 Astrological Birthday Book 

NOVEMBER 1. 

Yours is a very mixed character; hard to delineate, 
because so complex. You yourself do not understand it, 
at times. You are moody and impressionistic, and sub- 
ject to fits of brooding, not at all in conformity with 
the rest of your life. You are capable in business, far- 
seeing and honorable. You do not care for money in 
the way that many do; yet you like the things which 
money alone can buy. You are fond of books and a 
great reader. You are fond of travel; yet you love 
your home, and all the time you are abroad, you are 
"kicking" that you cannot get the comforts of your 
own home. You are not fond of the water, in all pro- 
bability; and this dislike may even be so strong as to 
deter you from travelling. You are fond of music on 
occasion, though you would be perfectly happy if you 
never heard another piece as long as you lived. You 
are exceedingly interested in the -supernatural ; and any- 
thing pertaining to it attracts and fascinates you — like 
the moth and the flame. You are passionate — but not af- 
fectionate. You could do great things in life, if you an- 
alysed yourself early on, and planned your life along 
the lines of least resistance. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Gustavus Adolphus IV, of Sweden. 



NOVEMBER 2. 

You are inclined to be impatient and quick-tempered 
with those about you. You see the faults of others, 
while neglecting your own. You are very fond of 
harmony and order about you in every form and shape; 
and if a woman, you are doubtless very fond of flowers, 
of scenery, and appreciate all the subtle changes in your 
environment. You are very spontaneous, and say at 
times just what you think. This may get you into hot 
water, on occasion, yet on the whole you are admired 



Astrological Birthday Book 225 

for your candor, and again laughed at for your simple 
and naive manner of presenting things. You are fond 
of art, and ought to be able to paint quite well. The 
artistic life appeals to you; and you would like nothing 
better than to visit the Latin Quarter in Paris for a year 
or so, and study there. You are destined to travel a 
great deal, however, so this side of your nature will 
doubtless be satisfied. You are intensely interested in 
the occult; and a ceaseless inquirer into its mysteries. 
Your love nature is strongly developed; and you will 
doubtless marry fairly young, and be ideally happy in 
married life. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
J. K. Polk. 



NOVEMBER 3 

You have a very deep nature, calm and serene, and 
not easily ruffled by the turbulent scenes about you. You 
have a poetic nature, meaning by this, one sensitive, and 
responsive. You have a vivid imagination, and this is 
manifested in day dreams, or if a woman in timidity, 
or terror of the dark. You have a very high and 
noble character, and your word is always to be depended 
upon. You must learn to not look ahead and court 
trouble by anticipating it. Never cross bridges until 
you come to them. It will be time enough to take steps 
to prevent a catastrophe when it is really threatened. 
You are very affectionate, capable of giving much love, 
and you demand much in return. You ought to succeed 
in business ; but not in the regular channels. The indie a- 
lions are that you will initiate something entirely new 
and original, and this will be the basis of your future 
success. You feel very deeply and love passionately. 
You give yourself too freely, and must conserve your 
energies more. You are intuitive and might trust these 



226 Astrological Birthday Book 

impressions more. Never listen to scandal. You are 
not usually inclined to. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 

Bryant and the late Mikado of Japan. 



NOVEMBER 4. 

Your emotional nature is strong ; you are temperamen- 
tal, and show this in your daily life and actions. You 
are inclined to be depressed, are moody, and take things 
very hard, when they are unfavorable. Yours is not 
an easy nature to cope with. You should cultivate 
optimism and cheer. Read some good New Thought 
books, and keep your physical health up to the mark. 
You are always originating new schemes, but not many 
of these plan out as you had hoped they would. Yet 
there are many bright passages in your life, and if you 
will look back, you will find that your black days have 
been few compared with those in which you experienced 
genuine interest and pleasure. Between the ages of 
thirty and thirty-five should be the most productive in 
your life, and you should prepare for this, and make 
your great effort at that time. You are logical in your 
thought; and almost too analytical for your own good. 
You have a hidden self, which you must bring to the 
surface, and let the daylight to shine upon it, so that 
others may know you as you know yourself. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Edmund Keene, the famous actor. 



NOVEMBER 5. 

You have a very complex nature. On the whole you 
are bright and optimistic, but you have your moods of 
depression. You are clever, intellectual, poetic, fond of 



Astrological Birthday Book 227 

books, art and literature. In fact, there is little that you 
do not take in and appreciate. You do not always live up 
to your ideals, however, and while you may present a 
smiling countenance to the world, you have a very differ- 
ent side which is turned inward, and which is more fully 
your true self. You can be caustic and cynical when you 
want to be also; but this is only when anyone crosses 
your path. You have a good business head; and are 
capable of making money when others fail. You are 
original and resourceful ; interested in science, philosophy 
and religious questions. You are very exacting in love 
matters, and hold your lover or sweetheart to great ex- 
actness. You are inclined to be fickle and changeable, 
and change your mind often. You would make a good 
friend, but a bad enemy for anyone to possess. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Ella Wheeler Wilcox. 



NOVEMBER 6. 

You have a very all-round nature. On the one hand, 
you are eminently businesslike, and can manage your 
own affairs as well as anyone else could for you ; on the 
other hand, you are artistic, and have all the qualities 
and qualifications of the artist. This is a rare combina- 
tion, and you are fortunate to possess it. You are ex- 
tremely musical, and should make a name in this direction. 
You are emotional, and demonstrative in your affec- 
tion. You are domestic, and care for your own hearth 
and home more than many others having your tempera- 
ment. You will doubtless have a large circle of friends 
and acquaintances, and be popular with them. You are 
generous and whole-souled in your attitude towards life, 
and help many a poor struggling brother or sister over 
the Slough of Despond. You are inclined to be a little 
extravagant, and to spend more on dress and kindred 
luxuries than you can well afford. You are shy, on oc- 



228 ^Astrological Birthday Boole 

casion, and at times suffer from a sort of "stage fright" 
which paralyses your abilities. Marry only for love; 
for this alone brings happiness. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Paderewski. 



NOVEMBER 7. 

You are clever, literary and of an inquiring turn of 
mind. You are strongly attracted toward the occult and 
the supernatural, and would like to give much time to the 
investigation of these subjects. You are inclined to be- 
lieve too much, and are apt to be imposed upon. You 
have a great deal of determination, and follow a trail to 
its bitter end. You have a roving disposition, and will 
doubtless travel much in many lands. You want 
money, yet you do not take the necessary steps to get 
it. Somehow you are not practical enough; but in any 
case it seems to elude you, no matter how hard you may 
try to obtain it. You must learn to save, for one thing, 
as ihe little sums are the important ones. Be more prac- 
tical. There is a vein of humor in your make-up but 
it is grim humor, and you are caustic and cutting in 
your remarks, on occasion. You are capable of a deep 
and lasting affection, but you must be most careful that 
you do not lavish it on someone who is unworthy of 
your love. "Cast not thy pearls before swine." If you 
choose wisely yours should be a happy married life. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Robert Dale Owen, the Socialist. 



NOVEMBER 8. 

You have great ability, and this only needs cultivation 
to make you a shining light in your community if not in 
far larger circles. You are literary, and fond of books. 



Astrological Birthday Book 229 

You are intuitive; scientific and fond of occult and 
metaphysical subjects. Yet you are not credulous; on 
the contrary, you approach these subjects from a severely 
sceptical point of view. You are intellectual, and your 
passional nature is strongly developed ; but on the whole 
you are not affectionate. You live more in your head 
than in your heart — but this is only right, for you. You 
have very wide interests, and take an interest in a variety 
of different subjects. You have a great deal of natural 
genius; and it is apparent in your commercial dealings, 
though you are not cut out to be a matter-of-fact. Still 
you might make a great success even of this ; and if you 
do it is all the more to your credit. You are open minded 
and cannot stand prejudice or bigotry. You are fearless, 
and should be popular in your community. On the 
whole, a well rounded out character. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
E. Bulwer Lytton. 



NOVEMBER 9. 

Born this day, you have a brilliant career before you, 
unless you ruin it by your own foolishness and rash 
actions. You are fond of the world, and are a man or 
woman of action. You are no dreamer, but the very 
contrary. You have a great deal of tact and diplomacy, 
though you would not ordinarily be suspected of having 
it. You are fond of the good things of this life, and 
take everything coming your way as it comes, without 
thinking any too much about it. You are frank, direct 
and straightforward. You have a keen sense of humor ; 
are fond of social life, though you do not cultivate your 
intellect as much as you should. You ought to make a 
natural linguist, and foreign languages come to you 
easily. You are fleeting in your affections, and will 
have a good many love affairs in your life. You will 
have splendid commercial success, if you learn how to 
keep the money you make, and do not spend it all as 



230 Astrological Birthday Book 

soon as you make it. You must be careful not to dis- 
sipate your energies in unwise living; or you will suffer 
for it later in life. You are eminently domesticated, 
and should marry young, and have a home and family 
of your own. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

King Edward VII, of England. 



NOVEMBER 10. 

Yours is a life against adverse circumstances. Yet the 
indications are that you will come through with flying 
colors; and it certainly depends upon yourself whether 
you do or not. You are sensitive and intuitive. You 
are literary and poetic. There is a good deal of the 
artist in you. A strongly defined religious vein is at the 
basis of your personality; though you may hardly recog- 
nize it as such. You have strong convictions, for which 
you are always ready to do battle. Your beliefs are 
deeply rooted in your nature. You are inclined to be 
erratic — a fault which you must learn to recognize and 
of which you must cure yourself. You are very fond 
of books; are sympathetic, kind and can keep a secret. 
You are strong minded, but are too easily led by what 
others say on some questions. Learn to think for your- 
self. Your mind is as good as theirs ; use it. Learn 
to find yourself early in life; formulate clearly your own 
goal, and then determine that nothing will prevent your 
attaining it. Nothing will — except yourself. Realize 
the powers within yourself, and success will be yours. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 

Martin Luther and Henry Van Dyke, the author. 



NOVEMBER 11. 

You have a great deal of natural capacity; but you^ 
do not use your powers as you should. You are rather 



Astrological Birthday Book 231 

inclined to be lazy — except in something in which you 
are very interested, and then you are energetic enough. 
You have brilliant ideas, but you do not carry them out ; 
and oftentimes they are picked up by others, and large 
sums of money made out of them; when by rights this 
money belongs to you. You must learn to be an actor as 
well as a dreamer. The only way to succeed in anything 
is to try. You have excellent judgment in business af- 
fairs, but cannot attend to details. You are rather too 
self-satisfied and complaisant. If you get a certain sum 
of money every week you do not try to get more, but rest 
content with what you have. Get out of this habit. You 
are happy and jolly and always ready to laugh and joke 
with those about you. You do not concentrate enough; 
you are too easily distracted by passing events. Yet you 
are a very likeable person, and have a good deal of 
magnetism. Socially, you are doubtless very fascinating. 
You have a winning way about you which is most at- 
tractive. Take care of your health. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

St. Martin, Bishop of Tours and Patron Saint of 
France. 



NOVEMBER 12. 

You are imaginative, a keen observer, fond of travel, 
entertaining, witty. You are intuitive and immensely 
interested in all that pertains to the supernatural. You 
may be subject to psychic impressions yourself; but it 
is more likely that you are an investigator in these 
realms. You are clever in a variety of ways; but your 
chief gift is your ability to read human nature, and pene- 
trate the motives and desires of others. You are sym- 
pathetic, however, in this ; and others often come to you 
for aid and assistance. You must be careful when 
travelling by water. Blue and green are your colors; 
and the sardonyx is the stone you should wear. The 
twenty-first of June will prove the happiest day of your 



232 Astrological Birthday Book 

life. Do not undertake any new enterprise, if possible 
during the summer months; as the winter time is that 
most favorable of any venture you may bring forth. Be 
careful in the choice of your associates; and do not 
make friends too easily. This advice is especially needed 
for women born this day. They should take the utmost 
care in this respect. Cultivate firmness of character, and 
place a greater estimate upon your own abilities. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 
Richard Baxter and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. 



NOVEMBER 13. 

You have a fine manly nature; frank, open and true. 
There is a martial spirit about you which is very attrac- 
tive to the opposite sex. You should take special care of 
your health, and particularly of your lungs, as this is 
your weak spot. You should be out of doors as much 
as possible, and take plenty of exercise. You are liter- 
ary, and will doubtless travel a great deal, particularly 
in out of the way places in odd corners of the world. 
You cannot stand cant and hypocrisy in anyone ; and 
often you are led to saying things to people because of 
this, which makes them enemies on that account. Do 
not try to reform the world all at once. Take it as it 
comes ; it is a pretty good place ; and above all cultivate 
a saving sense of humor. You have a vivid imagination, 
and can build air castles all day with the greatest of 
pleasure. Yet you are no idle dreamer. On the con- 
trary you are intensely practical, and lead an active, 
energetic life. If a woman, you should pay particular 
attention to your personal appearance. You are blessed 
with a pretty face and good figure; see to it that you 
maintain them to the best of your ability in good con- 
dition. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 
R. L. Stevenson and the Duke of Marlborough. 



Astrological Birthday Book 233 

NOVEMBER 14. 

You are imaginative, and have an appreciative under- 
standing of the lives and motives of others which is at- 
tained by few. Egypt and the Orient are particularly 
attractive to you. You are even of disposition, but must 
not be pushed too far, or you are liable to turn ; and then 
your attackers must look out. If a man, you should be 
strong of body, and possess excellent physical health. 
You are kind and sympathetic; fond of children, and 
particularly fond of animals. You are literary and 
should be able to write well. You are interested in the 
strange and the supernatural, and anything odd or out 
of the way attracts and fascinates you. You have a good 
nose for news, and should make a very good newspaper 
reporter or detective. You have good business sense, 
though it would be better for you to have a partner, in 
all probability. You are fond of all sorts of sports, and 
particularly water sports. You should be able to swim 
well. Are affectionate, domesticated, and would make 
an excellent husband or wife and a kind and indulgent 
parent. Marry young, but let your head have something 
to say in the match, as well as your heart. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Robert Hichens. 



NOVEMBER 15. 

You have a good deal of native genius, which only 
needs cultivation. You are doubtless interested in 
political questions, if a man, and ought to be able to rise 
to a position of prominence in that field. You have a 
good head for science and mathematics. You are in- 
genious, original and inventive. You are quiet and rather 
slow in manner, but a great deal of thought lies behind 
your actions; and when you say anything it is worth 
listening to, and is heard with respect. You must form 
the habit, early in life, of never waiting for opportunities 
to come to you, but going after them, and making them 



234 Astrological Birthday Book 

for yourself. She must be grasped by the forelock, and 
cannot be caught, like the bird, by putting salt on its 
tail after it has passed you. You are affectionate, and 
your love nature needs expansion and an opportunity 
to express itself. Marry, but use wisdom and discretion 
in your choice. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 

William Pitt and Herschel, the astronomer. 



NOVEMBER 16. 

You are interested in social questions, and in topics of 
the day. You are scientific, and a great reader of good 
books. You have a fine presence and a great deal of 
personal magnetism, which will procure for you a host 
of friends. You ought to speak in public. Do not scatter 
your forces. Determine what you want early in life, 
and let nothing deter you from obtaining what you desire. 
Choose your friends carefully, selecting those who can 
benefit you, or from whom you can learn something of 
advantage. You will doubtless make a business success, 
but not until you have broken away from old traditions, 
and set up in business for yourself. Cultivate greater 
frankness and cordiality. You are attractive; make the 
most of it ! In business, you will be more than averagely 
successful, but you must first earn your success. You 
have more than the usual talents, but you don't make 
the most of them. Develop your latent powers more, 
and success will come to you. Be more kindly and sym- 
pathetic to others, and your life will become happier and 
brighter and more prosperous. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
John Bright, the reformer. 



Astrological Birthday Book 235 

NOVEMBER 17. 

Born this day, you have a great deal of ability which 
you fail to use, or use only a small fraction of it. You 
can work hard when you want to, but you don't like work 
very much, unless you find it interesting, when you can 
undertake any amount. You are too easily led and 
influenced by those around you, and should cultivate a 
greater stamina of your own, to counterbalance these 
influences. You are musical, artistic and fond of all 
the good things of this life. In fact, there is a good 
deal of the Bohemian about you. This applies also to 
women born this day. If a woman, you should exercise 
great care, or you will grow overly stout, early in life. 
White and all shades of pink and mauve should become 
you very well. You have a loving nature and give much 
in your expressive conversation, without getting its 
equivalent in return. You are inclined to be quick tem- 
pered, and should learn to curb your temper. Your 
head is all right; cultivate your heart more. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Louis VIII, of France. 



NOVEMBER 18. 

Born this day, you have innate wisdom of men and 
things. You are quick, intuitive, brilliant, a good deal 
of a genius. You will travel much, and have many 
friends wherever you go. You are literary, artistic — in 
fact gifted in a number of ways. You will make a busi- 
ness success, owing to your application, and to the fact 
that you can turn your ability in any channel you may 
choose. You are inventive, and might be quite an in- 
ventor. You are loving and affectionate, and your love- 
nature is very strikingly marked. You would make 
someone extremely happy, if you married that one per- 
son. Your heart and head are in almost perfect sym- 
pathy; in fact you are a very evenly balanced nature, 



236 Astrological Birthday Book 

and one capable of accomplishing great things in life. 
The powers are within you. Use them. You have a 
loving, passionate nature, can give much love and de- 
mand much from those you love in return. You could 
make someone happy. You will probably marry young 
and have a family. Money will come to you; you will 
never be in want. However, you must be frank, honest 
and loving to others, or much that you acquire will be 
taken from you. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Pythagoras, the noted philosopher. 



NOVEMBER 19. 

If you are born on this day you have a variety of 
talents which seem, at times, in strange contradiction to 
one another, and make your life a paradox even to your- 
self. Thus you have, according to the teachings of 
astrology, decided business ability, yet you should have 
a partner, if possible, who attends to the money end of 
the business, as he is more suited to this than you are. If 
you are a woman you would make a good shopper, as 
you understand the value of goods thoroughly and 
usually get just what you want, even if you have to hunt 
all over the city in order to get it ! You are sociable, 
and people enjoy your society very much, and for that 
reason you are popular. One of your great ambitions, 
probably, is to see Switzerland, as the beautiful and the 
sublime in nature fascinates you, and you love the grand 
and colossal. The ocean appeals to you particularly, and, 
while watching it, you are carried away in reverie and 
awe at the wonder of it all. You are drawn to all that 
is deep and mysterious in nature. You are rather too 
open and trusting, and this may lead to your own injury 
at times, but probably everything will turn out for your 
own advantage in the end. If a man, you should make a 



Astrological Birthday Book 237 

good lawyer, and would probably have great success in 
that line of endeavor. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 
James A. Garfield and Gen. Fitzhugh Lee. 



NOVEMBER 20 

Born on this day you have much to be thankful for, as 
your natural gifts are great and need only to be cultivated 
to make you a great man or a great woman. It is con- 
sidered one of the unlucky days of the month ; neverthe- 
less its influence may be overcome to a great extent. You 
are naturally fitted for public life, and would fill any 
position, no matter how responsible, with great credit to 
yourself. You perhaps lack self-confidence at times, but 
this will vanish as you proceed and you gain added con- 
fidence in your own powers. You are independent in 
thought and action — more so in the former than the 
latter, and you should develop this side of yourself a 
little more. You are reliable and like doing a thing 
at once when it has to be done. Procrastination cannot 
be laid to your door. You know how to keep a secret, 
which is one of the most valuable possessions in the 
world, and you have no use for scandal or those who 
delight in it. To you it had always appeared that slay- 
ing the social reputation of a person is as much mur- 
der, in a sense, as killing his physical body, since he has 
only one life of this kind to lose. You are strong and 
true in your affections, but ruled more by your head 
than in your heart in all your affairs.

NOVEMBER 21. 

You are inclined to be a little too close in all your 
business and other dealings if born on this day, and 



238 Astrological Birthday Book 

should learn to be more liberal and open-handed. Your 
other greatest failing is fault-finding, which, above all 
else, you must suppress. Apart from these two faults 
you have a good character, and at times one which could 
hardly be improved upon. You are probably a good 
talker, and have exceptional powers as a mimic. Your 
ability in this direction would amuse your friends should 
you decide to develop it. You are inclined to become 
stout, have good health and a robust constitution. You 
are clever and would be learned if you put the requisite 
amount of work into your studies. You are not a natural 
buffoon, but on the contrary have a natural dignity which 
has a charm of its own. You have natural gifts, and 
should use them wisely and not squander them, for there 
is an old saying that our lives are intrusted to us, and 
also, "Unto whom much is given, much shall be re- 
quired." 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Hetty Green. 



NOVEMBER 22. 

Born on this day you have great natural will power ; 
you are magnetic, and would make a good public speaker. 
You are a natural "good fellow" and like all the good 
things which this life has to offer. You have a taste for 
literature and particularly history, but your life is prob- 
ably too busy and practical a one to become famous in 
either of these directions. But the talent is there, none 
the less. You are kind to others and like to hear nice 
things said about yourself. You are a hard worker and 
feel that you could "make good" at whatever position 
you are asked to occupy. You are fond of travel and 
will probably travel much in your lifetime. You are 
naturally quick-tempered, but the next minute your 
natural heartiness comes to the rescue, and you are just 
as ready to forgive everything and make friends again. 
You have one tendency which you must learn to curb at 



Astrological Birthday Book 239 

all costs, and that is the tendency to ''put off until to- 
morrow what should be done to-day." Overcome this ! 
Tuesday will probably be a good day upon which you 
should begin important enterprises. Women born this 
day should wear white or pink, though black may be 
becoming to them also. The topaz and moonstone are 
considered lucky stones for those born this month, and 
should be worn by all those who can procure them. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Justin McCarthy, the historian. 



NOVEMBER 23. 

You have a strong nature, a firm military type of mind 
and body and, for that reason, if a man, would be well 
fitted for the army. In fact, its discipline and severity 
rather attract you. You are naturally masterful, and 
this trait leads you at times to be too dogmatic and in- 
tolerant of the views of others. You are blunt and 
straightforward in your manner of speech. You have 
no fear of anything; but you are a great lover of dis- 
cipline and like to see it maintained everywhere. You 
do not understand women and their ways, which are a 
"sealed book" to you. Cultivate the gentler side of your 
nature, learn to be a little unbending and you would be 
more popular. Do not keep criticising others all the 
time and tearing down ; but build up instead. Remember 
that the destroyer adds nothing to the world, but the 
positive teacher does. Cultivate the affectionate side of 
your character more, for otherwise it is a fine individ- 
uality. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Franklin Pierce, inventor. 



NOVEMBER 24. 

Born on this day your character should be, on the 
whole, good, but you have weaknesses which must be 



240 Astrological Birthday Book 

guarded against. Thus you are a little prone to jealousy, 
which is due to the fact that you do not think your own 
work and efforts are sufficiently appreciated. This 
makes you at times sulky and sensitive ; but after a time 
your better nature reasserts itself and you realize how 
small this all is; and thenceforward you are all right 
again. You are not naturally affectionate by nature, 
and do not love easily. You have intellect and passion, 
without much real love and tenderness. For this reason 
the human side of yourself should be cultivated more. 
But when all this has been pointed out to you you are 
genuinely sorry for the trials of others. You must learn 
that only love begets love, and that it will never be given 
to you unless you are more loving yourself. Self-control 
is good, but a little spontaneity is also good ! The middle 
months of winter and summer will probably be found 
the most auspicious for you to undertake any new enter- 
prise, while the spring and autumn are not so good. 
Cultivate happiness and cheer, and your life will be a 
great success. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 

Spinoza and Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett. 



NOVEMBER 25. 

You are naturally an independent thinker and arrive at 
what you consider conclusively proved opinions. For 
this reason you are a trifle) intolerant of the views and 
ideas of others which do not agree with yours. You are 
a champion of free thought and free action; yet, by a 
strange perversity in your nature, you are intolerant of 
views expressed by others which do not coincide with 
your own! Learn to suppress this instinct. You are 
practical and worldly, but there is a mystical vein to your 
thought and life which you hardly know what to make 
of yourself. You are chivalrous, though a trifle quix- 
otic. You are fitted to be at the head of things and 
make your best successes in life when you have a free 



'Astrological Birthday Book 241 

hand to "run things" as you think they ought to be run. 
Women born on this day are great pleasure lovers and 
have an abhorence of all discipline or anything that per- 
tains to it. You are fond of change and like to travel 
a great deal. You are quick tempered, but with you it 
does not last more than a moment. If born on this day 
you have great natural ability and if it were developed 
you could make of yourself one of the world's striking 
characters. You would become "the salt of the earth." 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Andrew Carnegie. 



NOVEMBER 26. 

If born on this day you are marked by a very strong 
will, which often brings you through difficult situations 
by its sheer force and power. Being of this nature you 
cannot understand, many times, the attitude of mind of 
those who are less strong than yourself ; but you should 
cultivate the attitude of tolerance and understanding 
more than you do. You are methodical, and would be a 
good organizer of large affairs. On the other hand, 
your interest in human affairs is very great, so that you 
might be a politician or a writer, writing fiction of the 
more serious type, which deals with the affairs of man- 
kind. You are energetic, and love work for its own 
sake. You are not sparing of yourself, and like those 
associated with you in work to be as industrious as you 
are yourself. Your natural power and endurance are 
very great, and you should make the most of them while 
at the same not wearing yourself out. Remember the 
old saying, "A life cannot be both intensive and exten- 
sive." That is to say, the faster you spend your life 
the shorter it will be, other things being equal. 

Famous Persons Born This Day

NOVEMBER 27. 

If born today you have undoubted emotional and dra- 
matic abilities, Which only need development and en- 
couragement in order to bring about their successful 
emergence. Your character is an odd combination, 
which loves the world, and yet does not. Half the time 
you are right in the swing of society and gay events, the 
other half you do not care for these at all, but almost 
become a religious ascetic in your feelings. You are 
not lavis'h in your praise of others, not so much so as 
you should be. You like to be at the head of things and 
"run" them to suit yourself. You feel that if you could 
do this all would be well and fairly done. You have a 
great idea of duty and honor and are unflinching in your 
devotion to them. You have a few good friends who 
understand you, but probably make several bitter ene- 
mies, of Whom you must beware. You should, perhaps, 
cultivate a greater sense of humor. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Fanny Kemble, the actress. 



NOVEMBER 28. 

You are straightforward and upright in all that you 
do if born this day, and like the best of everything. You 
like the best clothes, which must be of good cut and 
taste. You are fond of jewelry, but this, too, must be 
of the best, and you do not at all care for that imitation 
ware which many persons of your acquaintance delight 
in. You always give full and just returns for all you 
receive and expect the same in return. You are a little 
inclined to exaggerate at times, but this is not excessive. 
You have, as a rule, good bodily health, which you are 
inclined to abuse, not feeling any immediate ill effects 
from all that you do. You should be more careful about 
your diet, as this will tell in the long run. You have an 
intense love of nature, and it seems to you often that 



Astrological Birthday Booh 243 

you can never find anyone who can completely gratify 
you in this direction. On the whole, a very satisfactory 
life should be yours. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
John W. Hyatt, inventor. 



NOVEMBER 29. 

Your distinguishing trait, according to astrology, if 
born on this day, is your temperamental disposition, 
which is often the cause of endless trouble to you. You 
are quick tempered and easy to rouse to anger, but as 
ready to pacify the next moment. You often harbor 
grudges against people — a habit which represents the 
worst side of your nature, and must be eradicated by 
you at all costs. You are fond of the world, full of fun 
and good humor, sprightly and energetic. You are full 
of vim and "go." Maybe you are of an apparently quiet 
nature, but wait until the brakes are off and see the re- 
sult ! It will surprise even yourself. You are fairly 
thorough, but dislike detail work, which you feel is more 
suited for others. Although free and easy you are not 
a natural Bohemian, and at times just the reverse. You 
love intensely and scatter your affections over a great 
many. In this you are probably inclined to be a little 
fickle. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Martin Frobisher, explorer. 



NOVEMBER 30. 

You have a good head if born today, and learn quickly 
and easily, and remember what you read. You are in- 
clined to worry too much, however, and while doing so, 
you make everyone around you worry also. This you 
must learn to overcome. You have strong ideas about 



244 Astrological Birthday Book 

things, and invariably believe you are in the right. As 
a matter of fact you generally are; but you don't like 
to have the opposite proved to you! If it is, you gen- 
erally are very frank in admitting it. You make it a 
point to know any business thoroughly into which you 
enter, and this absorbs a large part of your time. You 
are very fond of music, and should make a good musi- 
cian. You have plenty of self-confidence. At the same 
time, you are not arrogant. You must concentrate more 
than you do, and develop your mind more. Your love- 
nature is very strong, and you can give and demand 
much affection from those about you. On the whole, 
you have a sweet and pleasing personality. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 
Mark Twain and Dean Swift. 



DECEMBER 1. 

You are quiet and reserved and do not like anyone 
else to interfere with your affairs. Even if you make an 
error of any kind you like to take the responsibility for 
it yourself. You rather love power and do not like to 
see others over you when you feel you should have this 
power yourself. You are a great believer in allowing 
everyone to shape his (or her) own life, and not inter- 
fering with it. Giving advice is as unpalatable to you 
as receiving it. Oddly enough, you have a tendency to 
believe in the unseen and mysterious, but you do not 
allow this to interfere with your life or business occupa- 
tions. You are affectionate by nature and "love to be 
loved." You will probably marry young, but must use 
great tact and discretion in choosing your life partner. 
In business affairs, you will be more than usually suc- 
cessful, and money will come your way. You have am- 
bition and determination; don't let these good qualities 
go unused! 

Famous Person Born This Day

Astrological Birthday Book 245 

DECEMBER 2. 

You are naturally brave and love excitement of all 
kinds. It seems to bring out the best that is in you. You 
are not fitted to live in the country, as the quietness and 
passivity do not seem to agree with you. You love the 
bustle and excitement of the city life, which seem to 
stimulate you into greater actions and thoughts. All 
that you accomplish in life you will have to do yourself, 
as no one will ever help you materially, much as you 
hope so at times. You are ingenious and might be an in- 
ventor. You are at times cruel or callous, indifferent to 
the sufferings of others, which you must try to overcome 
by appreciating their viewpoint more. You naturally 
dislike early rising. Try to discipline yourself more and 
a great future should be yours. You have talents be- 
yond the average. Also tact, diplomacy and sympathy. 
If you live up to your highest ideals, yours will be a 
happy and prosperous life. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Dr. Guillotine, who invented the guillotine. 



DECEMBER 3. 

If you are born on this day you are quiet, self-pos- 
sessed, retiring and usually follow your own line of 
action and thought, and are not influenced by others to 
any great extent. You are very fair in all your dealings 
with others, and have a love for what you think is jus- 
tice and a hatred of what you consider injustice. You are 
usually quick at perception and in "sizing up" a person ; 
and, if you have once seen through him, you have no 
further "use" for him in future. You have a keen 
sense of humor, but are the type that appreciates fun in 
others rather than originate it yourself. You may have 
strong religious views. Your stern idea of discipline 
may incline you to a military life. 

Famous Person Born This Day

246 Astrological Birthday Book 

DECEMBER 4. 

If you are born on this day you should excel in busi- 
ness ability, as you have the natural talent and are by 
nature shrewd and sharp, almost too much so at times ! 
You should live in the country, as you are a great lover 
of nature and of all animals. You are inclined to worry 
too much about your own affairs and about things which 
might happen, but which never do ! You must stop this 
in order to make a success of life. Put the past behind 
you and determine to live only in the present and the 
future. You are erratic at times, and inclined to be 
moody and sullen, or "cranky" when things do not "go 
just right." Overcome this and success will be yours. 
Your love-nature is strongly developed, and you should 
marry fairly young. A good deal of travel is marked 
out for you — also much excitement. Yours will not be a 
monotonous l?fe! 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Thomas Carlyle. 



DECEMBER 5. 

You are impulsive and quick of temper, a fault you 
must overcome by practice and habit. You will then 
find many more friends than you now have. You are 
often misunderstood by others, but this is largely your 
own fault, for you say things you do not really mean, 
and regret the moment after that you have said them, 
but are too proud to retract your words. Do not be 
anxious about your future, as you have a tendency to 
be. Work along steadily at the work in hand, and be 
confident that something much better will turn up in the 
near future if you will only work faithfully and attend 
to the work nearest to you. You are slow at making 
friends; but when once made you seldom lose them for 
good, though misunderstandings may often arise. You 
are inclined to be rather dogmatic, a trait which you 
can overcome by remembering that everyone has a right 



Astrological Birthday Book 247 

to his own opinion, and that "there are two sides to 
every quarrel." You must learn to develop your better 
self more. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Martin Van Buren. 



DECEMBER 6. 

Persons born on this day are, above all, cautious in all 
they undertake ; and this is not a failing in their case, 
because this is considered one of the "unlucky days" of 
the month. You like to have what you do for others 
appreciated, and you are generally willing to help others ; 
but you want them to be willing to help you in return. 
You are of a strong nature, as a rule, and if you say 
"No" you mean it and stick to it. You have probably 
undeveloped talent as an actor or orator, if you are of 
the more emotional type; but if you are inclined to the 
intellectual field you should make a great success here, 
for you have the infinite capacity for taking pains and 
doing any amount of work in order to achieve a desired 
end. Persons born on this day should learn to act more 
upon their impulses, which are generally right, and not 
calculate everything so carefully. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 

Max Muller and E. H. Southern. 



DECEMBER 7. 

This is also considered an "unlucky day," and accord- 
ing to the teachings of astrology, would be a bad day 
for you to undertake any new venture. You are naturally 
bright and quick of thought, strongly intuitive, especially 
at times, when you seem to be almost psychic. You are 



248 Astrological Birthday Booh 

inclined to think great thoughts, to "hitch your wagon 
to a star," but this is all right in your case, for, if you 
live up to the best that is in you, you cannot aim too 
liigh, and can achieve anything along certain lines of 
endeavor that you try to. Your natural sincerity and 
honesty would prevent you from entering any business 
which was not strictly honorable. Thus, owing to your 
intuitive or psychic ability, you might be tempted, at 
times, to enter that profession and become a profes- 
sional "clairvoyant ;" but you feel, again, that you could 
not do this. Live at your best, and your life will be a 
success. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Hugh McCullough, ex-Secretary of the Treasury. 



DECEMBER 8. 

You are a student, either of human nature or human- 
ity, or of history and literature. The two are closely 
allied, but one is a little more practical than the other, 
and it all depends upon your turn of mind. You have a 
good memory, which helps you greatly in what you do. 
Should you enter the lecture field you would doubtless 
be a pleasant personality on the rostrum, and would make 
a good lecturer. You see into the heart of things quickly, 
and for that reason anyone who attempts to "bluff" you 
has little chance, and you are often able to make a fool 
of him — in a nice way — by means of subtle ridicule and 
sarcasm. You have a keen sense of humor. This may 
show itself in your writings, should you ever desire to 
write. You are probably emotional, and long for pas- 
sionate love, which you feel you could return fully if it 
were given to you. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 
Bjornson and Joel Chandler Harris. 



'Astrological Birthday Book 249 

DECEMBER 9. 

This is also considered an unlucky day, though not so 
much as the days which have preceded it. You are 
practical and energetic, and for that reason should excel 
in business, if you desire to enter it. You have firmness 
of character, and a vivid imagination which is, however, 
held in check so that it does not "run away with you," 
and for this reason is helpful rather than the reverse. 
You are of an affectionate nature, strong and tender, but 
not ardent, as some others are. Your head generally 
rules your heart. You are inclined to be gloomy and 
downcast at times, and when such spells are on you 
foresee calamity in everything that happens. At times 
you almost fear insanity. Learn that all such fears are 
groundless ; that all the trouble comes from yourself, 
and that all you have to do to overcome such tendencies 
is to determine to change the attitude of mind, and at 
the same time live an active outdoor life for a time, 
coupled with great care as to diet and physical life 
generally. You are "out of sorts," and the mind and 
body will react healthfully together as soon as this 
change is made. Women born on this day are affection- 
ate wives, loving mothers, and take a great pride in their 
homes. They usually have good health and live to a 
happy old age. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
John Milton. 



DECEMBER 10. 

If you are born on this day you have very decided 
intuitive faculties which you should cultivate and de- 
velop and learn to trust more. When these "promptings" 
come to you, you are inclined to set them to one side and 
think no more of them — a habit which makes these won- 
derful intuitive powers gradually become weaker and 
weaker, until they leave you altogether. Then, perhaps, 



250 'Astrological Birthday Book 

some day, you will wish you had them, and they will be 
gone forever. Intuitions of this character are generally 
right. You have a serious bent of mind, which should 
fit you to take up serious subjects; you might be fitted 
for the ministry. This is later on in life, however, and 
it may be that you must have an overdose of the things 
of this world first — before you become tired of them. 
You also have literary abilities, and should make a good 
writer of fiction. You have a good sense of humor, and 
like entertaining a crowd, which you can do well. You 
are affectionate, but not overloving at any time. You are 
inclined to be weak in body, and particularly in the lungs, 
and should watch yourself carefully in this respect, and 
adopt an outdoor life as much as possible, together with 
lots of physical exercise. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Edward Eggleston, the American author. 



DECEMBER 11. 

You should have good business judgment, and are 
rather saving with your money — perhaps too much so at 
times. Learn to be a little more open-handed. You 
will be liked better. It is rare to find anyone born on 
this day who lacks money ; they are never completely out 
of that useful commodity, even if they never get rich. 
You are artistic and musical, and should excel at the 
violin or the 'cello if you took up the study of either of 
these instruments. You are inclined to worry over 
things a little too much, and you should learn that worry 
never prevented anything bad from happening, but often- 
times prevents you from accomplishing some good. It is 
probable that you will find someone born in the preced- 
ing month, or April or August, suitable to you in tempera- 
ment — and such a one you should think of with a view 
to marriage. You are inclined to be reckless with your 



Astrological Birthday Book 251 

health ; but remember that there is a reckoning day and 
Nature's books are justly kept. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 
Koch, the famous physician, and Henry Morton, the 
scientist. 



DECEMBER 12. 

If a man, you should have a good knowledge of politics,, 
in which you are interested, and should possess intuition 
and sound judgment of such affairs. You are interested 
in all affairs of state, and your political ambition may be 
to be sent abroad as America's representative to some 
foreign country for a time. If a woman, you are fond 
of company, are a good judge of human nature, and can 
generally form a just estimate of the motives of others, 
You are fond of a number of people round you all the 
time, and life in a monastery or a nunnery has no attrac- 
tions for you. You are kind and thoughtful, and take 
an interest in the affairs of others. You have large ideas 
on most things — on occasions too large, and they may 
lead you into financial and other difficulties, because you 
overstep your limits. You are fond of the world and 
its pleasures ; love excitement, and are naturally passion- 
ate — liking others of the same temperament as yourself. 
Yet you can be calm and collected, especially in times of 
danger. On the whole, you should be a very "likable" 
person. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
( William Lloyd Garrison. 



DECEMBER 13. 

You are poetic at times, though not all the time. This 
should be the characteristic of persons born on this day. 
You are naturally serious; would make a good public 



*252 Astrological Birthday Book 

speaker or orator, and have a deep interest in all those 
practical problems which affect human life. I do not 
mean by this scientific problems, but the problems of the 
human heart — the study of human nature — which is, 
after all, the greatest of studies. If you tried, you could 
probably write good poetry, but to be properly inspired 
for this you need a quiet life in the country, with 
nature all around you. You are naturally fond of 
studies, and would make a fine teacher or instructor for 
the young. You have a natural bent toward the occult 
and mysterious, and might be seriously interested in 
ancient magic, and in the discoveries relative to ancient 
Egypt, the Pyramids, etc. You like collecting things, 
and would make a good historian, if you had the neces- 
sary time to give to it. At the same time, you are prac- 
tical and at times aggressive. Yours may be considered 
a very balanced temperament. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 

Heine and Phillips Brooks. 



DECEMBER 14. 

If born on this day you are clever, wilful and deter- 
mined, and generally get your way about most things. 
At the same time you are tender with regard to the 
feelings of others, and this often prevents you from 
doing things which you might otherwise be tempted to 
do. While you are interested in your business, you like 
home comfort; and if you travel anywhere, you try to 
make the place as cheerful and homelike as possible — no 
matter how short a time you may be staying there. 
Bohemianism does not spell comfort for you, except 
possibly once in a great while, by way of change, and 
as a method of distracting your mind from something 
in hand. You are fond of good clothes and a great be- 
liever in the idea that a man is judged, very largely, by 
the clothes he wears; that "fine feathers do make fine 



Astrological Birthday Book 253 

birds." You probably have a great interest — not to say 
curiosity — in all secret societies, and long to know the 
details of the inner secrets of Freemasonry, etc. You 
should, if a man, make a good detective, and probably 
have great talents in that direction. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Tycho-Brahe, the famous astronomer. 



DECEMBER 15. 

If born on this day you are doubtless a great reader, 
love books of all kinds, and in fact become at times a 
vertiable "bookworm." You have also a good memory, 
which enables you to retain all you have read, and pro- 
bably dates also. But your memory for names and faces 
of people you meet is poor, and outside your book knowl- 
edge your memory cannot be said to be good. You have 
a clear knowledge of things, and can impart what you 
know in clear, simple language, so that others can under- 
stand it. You should be fitted for a lecturer, a clergy- 
man or a historian. It may be, however, that you are 
prevented from gratifying your desires in this direction 
by reason of lack of funds wherewith to buy the necessi- 
ties of life; but your intellectual interests would be there, 
all the same. You are not naturally emotional, but like 
to see others happy. At times you are too critical and 
cold, and must learn to be more human, and take a 
greater interest in the lives of others. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Bishop McQuaid, noted preacher. 



DECEMBER 16. 

If you are born on this day you have a distinct interest 
in things scientific and the practical side of all these 



254 Astrological Birthday Book 

questions will probably attract you most. You have a 
genial, happy nature, and doubtless make a good com- 
panion. You are probably strong and well formed in 
body, and above middle height in stature. You have a 
fine forehead, indicating the intellectual powers beneath. 
You are impatient, however, and inclined to push a thing 
too fast when once you have undertaken it. You are 
a trifle pugnacious and inclined to fight whenever the 
opportunity presents itself. You are not over-generous, 
and this tendency sometimes hampers you more than you 
know, since it prevents the success which you might 
otherwise attain. You have great self-reliance, but this 
you should cultivate and rely upon, since it is important 
that you — born this day — should learn to depend solely 
upon yourself and not upon the advice of others. You 
are fond of travel and believe in the right of every 
person born to see as much of the world as possible. 
This love of travel may some time lure you to sea, and 
you are probably fond of the water. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Abbott Lawrence, founder of the Lawrence Scientific 
school at Yale. 



DECEMBER 17. 

You have a good deal of self-confidence and belief in 
your own ability to do things — almost too much so at 
times. You are inclined to undertake big enterprises 
you cannot quite accomplish. You do not care for de- 
tail work or the small things of life, but "strike high, ' 
and hope for the best. You are fond of travel and will 
probably have a good deal of it ir your life, even in 
foreign countries. You are rather pugnacious in tem- 
perament and cannot tolerate opposition to your plans, 
which you believe to be right. You are quiet and dig- 
nified, even cold to those who do not know you weH 






Astrological Birthday Book 255 

enough to break through this reserve. You are inclined 
to force things, instead of letting them take their natural 
course, but remember this is not always wise, and espe- 
cially in the case of woman! Remember that love is a 
thing which cannot be forced, but must grow naturally, 
and that "he who picks the buds forfeits the flower." 
While you are reliable, you must learn to be more ac- 
curate in your statements. You are excitable. You are 
a lover of home and home comforts. You are naturally 
affectionate, but this is rather spasmodic with you. Cul- 
tivate greater evenness of temper. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 

Beethoven and Whittier. 



DECEMBER 18. 

You are naturally quiet and secretive and disinclined 
to communicate secrets to any one else. You keep your 
own affairs to yourself. You are a good friend, when 
once you know a person, but you want to know them 
very thoroughly first. You are naturally just and fair 
in all your dealings with others. You are interested in 
things of the mind and have good natural scientific ten- 
dencies, which you should cultivate more than you do. 
You are rather too easily led and should become as inde- 
pendent in action as you are in thought. You are fond 
of good clothes and know how to make much out of 
little, as few do. You are also a good buyer or shopper, 
and have a faculty of finding "good things cheap" where- 
ever you are. Naturally attractive to the opposite sex, 
you should develop the best side of yourself, and you 
would make a fine character. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Th. Ribot, the French psychologist.

DECEMBER 19. 

Born this day you are above all naturally artistic, and 
know how to make any place in which you live attractive 
and pretty. You are very fond of flowers — especially 
so — and like to have them in any room in which you 
happen to be living. You are also, if a woman, especial- 
ly fond of ribbons, beads and similar gewgaws. You 
are fond of music and, indeed, all forms or expressions 
of art. If a man, you are particularly attracted to 
science. You have ingenuity and originality, and should 
make a good inventor if you would turn your interests 
in that direction. You are inclined to expend your ener- 
gies lavishly and thus become bankrupt of them. You 
should take more rest, and learn how to relax. You are 
untiring in your interest for ' others — once your interests 
and sympathies are aroused. You need only to learn 
the lesson that a life, in order to be successful, must be 
carefully steered in its course, like a ship in midocean, 
and if you do this, anything you wish for will be yours ! 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Mary A. Livermore, the great reformer. 



DECEMBER 20. 

Born on this day, yours is a temperament often hard 
to understand. It is full of contradictions. You do not 
always understand yourself or your actions ; hence you 
can hardly expect others to understand you in turn. 
You have solid interests, which should incline you at 
times toward science and particularly mathematics. You 
might make an expert accountant. You are sensitive, 
though you do not like this to be seen, and often cover 
it up with bluntness, which hurts others and is not really 
what you mean at all. This is one of the paradoxes of 
your nature and ofttimes gives people a very different 
impression of you than you really are, and yet, while 
you know all this, you somehow can't change what you 



Astrological Birthday BookvB 257 

do. You should cultivate greater calmness and stop 
hurry and worry — especially about things which are go- 
ing to happen, but which never do! Cultivate greater 
frankness and directness. Do not be ashamed of asking 
advice of others; it is no shame to be ignorant of a 
thing, but it is to be pig-headed and pretend to know a 
thing when you do not. Naturally affectionate, you 
shrink from showing this, and hence get little affection 
from 'others. You must learn to express your inner 
nature more, and you will find much more that is real in 
the world. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
William C. Hunt, the statistician. 



DECEMBER 21. 

Originality is one of your strong points if born this 
day, both of thought and action. You are always having 
new ideas, new schemes. You like to please people and 
dislike to hurt their feelings in any way. You form 
your own estimate about things and are not influenced 
much, if at all, by the opinions of others. You are 
naturally loving, but your heart never runs away with 
your head for all that. You are inclined to worry — a 
fault which brings on mental depression and other 
physical ailments. You are to be trusted in all you 
undertake and are naturally thorough. You have a deep 
interest in affairs of state, but not from the politician's 
point of view so much as that of the economist and 
socialist. If you wrote or spoke in public at all it would 
be on these topics and from this standpoint. You have 
a natural' leaning toward the mystic, and are inclined to 
be a little too credulous. Do not believe so much in 
signs and omens. Determine to master fate, instead 
of letting it master you. Your character Is good, but 
you should cultivate more force and power. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Disraeli, the English statesman,

DECEMBER 22. 

If born to-day you are oversensitive to slights and in- 
juries from others and apt to take offense too easily. 
Learn to pay attention to other things ; do not worry, 
and keep busy, for, remember, "the devil finds some mis- 
chief still for idle hands to do.' , Persevere, eliminate 
fear from your make-up and determine to conquer, 
single-handed if needs be, the obstacles which confront 
you. You live an intense life and do not sleep enough; 
also you are inclined to keep late hours. Sleep is even 
more important to the body than food; remember that. 
You cannot afford to do without it. Women born this 
day are generally pretty and possessed of naturally good 
figures. They should be dressed well to show them to 
advantage. The men are fitted to be designers, decora- 
tors or landscape artists. They do not, as a rule, care 
for the water at all or very much for travelling. They 
like bodily comforts and, in foreign countries, long to 
be back in a cosy warm home in America! Cultivate 
self-reliance, for "confidence in self breeds confidence in 
others, and fear weakens both the brain that plans, and 
the hand that executes." 

Famous Person Born This Day 
William Ellery, one of the signers of the Declara- 
tion of Independence. 



DECEMBER 23. 

You have good ability in a commercial way and should 
make a success of what business ventures you under- 
take. You are at times over-modest; also loving, kind 
and generous, but these good qualities are carried to an 
extreme in your case. You have a vivid imagination, 
which is inclined to run away with you at times. You 
nave a habit of building air castles, but you should not 
practise this too much, as it is harmful to the mind. You 
are generous and despise anything underhanded or mean. 
You are not much given to words and talk comparatively 



r Astrological Birthday Book 259 

little, but what you do say is to the point, and you 
think out problems clearly before passing judgment upon 
the questions involved. You have a good sense of humor 
and enjoy a good joke with any one, but it must be the 
wholesome variety of humor. You are good at plan- 
ning out affairs and such things as the arrangements of 
parties, picnics, etc., is generally left to you. A man 
born to-day would probably succeed as an insurance man 
or in the field of literature. Distinct dramatic abilities 
are also possessed by persons born on this day. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 

John Morley and Samuel Smiles. 



DECEMBER 24. 

If born on this day you are naturally bright and witty, 
and marked by a good intellect, which you are apt to 
make too little of, as it is capable of bringing you real 
distinction in the world, if only you would cultivate it 
more. You dislike creeds of all kinds, and especially 
restriction of any character. You are of a naturally 
independent spirit, and should not be under the sway or 
orders of others. You have a great interest in and 
sympathy for humanity; and this tendency might make 
you a socialist, if you looked into the subject. You see 
the good in everybody, and are optimistic most of the 
time. You should make a good instructor or lecturer, 
if ever you turned your abilities in that direction. Also, 
you might shine as a writer on serious subjects connected 
with humanity. Learn to take yourself seriously, and it 
would be better for you. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Matthew Arnold. 



DECEMBER 25. 

"Born on Christmas day" is an odd coincidence, and a 
rare one, as you will probably find but few whose fate 



260 'Astrological Birthday Boole 

portions them this lot. If such is yours, you have many 
latent qualities of the highest order which you only need 
to develop in order to win success. You are emotion? 1, 
a naturally strong character, possess a wide range of 
interests, take a great interest in the love affairs of 
others and are often getting into them yourself! You 
are most happy when following your own line of work, 
and when following inspirations which come to you, and 
which are often very good. You are naturally mercurial 
in temperament and should learn to cultivate a calm, 
judicious manner. A diamond is the stone you should 
wear by preference, as this is your lucky stone. A woman 
may also wear a tourquoise. Greens and yellows of all 
shades would be becoming to you, in all probability, and 
should be worn by a woman born this week. Be self- 
reliant, and you will achieve far more than you ever ex- 
pect to, if you follow the advice here given. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Isaac Newton. 



DECEMBER 26. 

You are naturally resourceful and ingenious, and a 
good observer of affairs and human nature. If a man, 
you would probably make a good detective, if a woman, 
you would shine in society because of your wit, personal- 
ity and breadth of view, which prevents you from listen- 
ing to scandal or dwelling upon the faults of others. 
You are interested in things unseen and mysterious, 
and it is probable that you are particularly interested in 
Hindoo philosophy and religions, and might be drawn 
into Theosophy or some kindred belief on that account. 
Often you feel out of your element, without just knowing 
how, you feel, so to say, "like a fish out of water," but 
you cannot put it into words. This is probably due to 
your environment, which is not suited to you. You 
should change it, if possible, but also remember that 
ours is the power to mould and change the environ- 



'Astrological Birthday Book 261 

ment to suit ourselves ! Try it, and determine that you 
will. You see the suffering of humanity, and suffer 
with it. You are by nature a reformer, and may deter- 
mine to devote your life to reform the world, but will 
probably find this a hopeless task. Naturally you are full 
of hope and perseverance ; cling to this, it will help you 
over many a difficult situation. 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Admiral Dewey. 



DECEMBER 27. 

If born on this day, you are one of those whom it 
is often hard to understand, but, once understood, you 
will rightly be valued at your just estimate. You often 
feel that you are not appreciated, that the world does 
not see your real worth, etc. There may be some truth 
in all this, at the same time, you must remember that 
our natural vanity makes all of us think more of our- 
selves than we deserve. Try and look at yourself from 
an outsider's point-of-view. Remember Shakespeare's 
adage, "All the world's a stage, and all the men and 
women merely players." Are you playing a strong; a 
worthy or a romantic part? Should you see your own 
character on the stage, would you admire it? Think 
this over, it is well worth considering. You have a good 
many fine qualities, but they need expression. You have 
a good mind, a good memory, and a grasp of facts, which 
should make you a good scientist. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Kepler, the great astronomer. 



DECEMBER 28. 

You Have a good mind, with an interest for detail, 
which should fit you for some of the sciences requiring 



262 F Astrological Birthday Booh 

great skill and a knowledge of detail — such as chemistry 
or electricity. You are very inquisitive by nature, and 
even as a child were always trying to solve the riddle of 
the universe and the mystery of being. You are fitted 
to undertake large enterprises, and small affairs do not 
interest you as they, perhaps, should. You are open and 
above board in all that you do and think, and if you wish 
to do a certain thing, you do it regardless of the conse- 
quences. You are a great lover of justice; are frank 
yourself, and admire frankness in others. You see the 
faults of others clearly, but must teach yourself to over- 
look them. Thursday would probably be a great day for 
you to undertake any new enterprise. Cultivate gentle- 
ness and cheerfulness, for, as Robert Louis Stevenson 
said, "these are the perfect duties." 

Famous Person Born This Day 
Perry Belmont, financier. 



DECEMBER 29. 

Your natural liberality of thought and freedom of 
speech cause you to be looked upon, in certain quarters, 
as a dangerous person, one whom it is advisable to 
avoid! But this does not influence you, as you regard 
such persons as "narrow minded." Your hearty manner 
and natural honesty will overcome all obstacles in time, 
and win many friends for you who formerly regarded 
you with a suspicious eye. You are one of those persons 
who love all the world ; and so often find it hard to con- 
centrate your affections to one person. At times, you are 
blunt, even to the point of rudeness, but this is a ten- 
dency you should learn to overcome. You make many 
friends, and keep those you have made. 

Famous Persons Born This Day 

William E. Gladstone and Carmen Sylva. 



'Astrological Birthday Book 263 

DECEMBER 30. 

You are friendly and well liked, but rather lack that 
candor which is essential for a perfectly sincere human 
being. You are inclined to be somewhat narrow in your 
views on all things; and in religion, particularly, you 
are not as liberal as you should be. By nature, you 
are fitted for the church, but the pressure of modern 
civilized life has rather put that idea out of your head. 
You are well fitted for clerical work, which you 
could perform well; but it would be very unwise for 
one of your temperament to undertake a venture or 
business on your own account — unless you enter into 
partnership with some one who is diametrically op- 
posed to you in temperament. You are strictly hon- 
est, but not quite powerful enough as a personality. 
You should cultivate this more, make more of yourself, 
not in thought, but build up your physical self, and cul- 
tivate a greater wholesomeness and breeziness of manner. 
Be more of a "good fellow." Your ability as a writer 
should fit you to become a splendid historian — if ever 
you devoted yourself to that field of endeavor. 

Famous Person Born This Day 

Rudyard Kipling. 



DECEMBER 31. 

Born this day you have distinct ability in several 
directions. You have a long head and wise judgment in 
most things. Your tastes would naturally lead you into 
politics, but this may be overcome by your interest in 
purely mental and scientific things. You should make 
a good chemist, electrician or scientist generally. You 
are generous and sparing of the feelings of others. You 
are always ready to concede the rights of others, and the 
justice of the other man's point of view. You are loving 
and affectionate. You require love in return. You are 
thoroughly honest and reliable. You are probably of the 
stout, healthy type of person, or will become so later on 



264 Astrological Birthday Book 

in life. You should be good natured, from all indica- 
tions. In the business way, all indications are that you 
will be very successful, and after having several "ups" 
and "downs," will make enough to give you a comfort- 
able living, and enable you to travel. You have a pleas- 
ing personality, and will make a success of your life, if 
you live up to the best within you.

THE FORTUNES OF BETTY. By Cecil Spooner. Love, 
romance, pathos, sympathy, martial spirit, reverence, action 
—all have their place and a share in the success-making and 
attention-holding* qualities of Miss Spooner's novel. It is a 
story of a small-town girl, who strives to keep the honor of 
the family name intact, and who by her ability, ready wit, and 
bravery, succeeds in overcoming the machinations of rich and 
powerful enemies. The admiration and reverence due the Stars 
and Stripes, and those who fought under them, is graphically 
depicted; and Betty's difficulties in winning the love of the 
man upon whom her affections are bestowed are admirably set 
forth. It is pure in thought, tender in motive, and true to tha 
higher ideals of life and love. Price, 60 cents, postpaid. 

THE CONFESSIONS OF A PRINCESS. 

The writer has taken a page from her life 
and has given it to the world. She has 
laid bare the soul of a woman, that some 
other woman (or some man) might profit 
thereby. Her disposition and character 
were such as to compel her to find else- 
where than in her own home the love, ten- 
derness, admiration, and society which 
was lacking there, and which her being 
craved. The names have been changed 
and such events omitted as might lead too 
readily to the discovery of identities. 
Each the victim of a circumstance over 
which they had no control, yet the price is demanded of the one 
who fell the victim of environment. The Confessions of a 
Princess is the story of a woman who saw, conquered and fell. 

'WAY DOWN EAST. By Joseph R. Grismer. One of the 

sweetest stories of New England life ever written ; one full of 
the love and tenderness made possible by honest Christian living 
among pure, whole-hearted, and broad-minded country folks. 
This book is founded upon the play, which, with ever-increasing 
popularity, has been presented so often to the American public.

it? If not, why not get it now? Price. 60 cents, postpaid.

THE MYSTERY OF THE RAVENS- 
PURS. By Fred H. White A romantic 
tale of adventure, mystery and amateur 
detective work, with scenes laid in Eng- 
land, India, and the distant and compara- 
tively unknown Thibet. A band of mys- 
tics from the latter country are the prime 
movers in the various conspiracies, and 
their new, unique, weird, strange methods 
form one of the features of the story. 

THE FORGED COUPON. By Count 
Leo Tolstoi. This story shows the suc- 
cessive evil and wrong resulting from the 
forging of a note by a student in need of 
money. Numerous crimes succeed each other as a result of 
Chis first wrong act, until the wave of crime is checked by a 
poor, ignorant woman and a lame tailor, who follow the real 
teaching of Christ. The book contains also After the Ball, a 
story of love and military life ; Komey Vasilyev, a story of 
peasant life ; Tolstoi's Vital Humanitarian Ideas, giving the 
very essence of the fountain-spring and incentive of all the 
literary work ever written by this wonderful man— a peep, as 
it were, at the power-works of his thinking machine. 

THE KREUTZER SONATA. By Count Leo Tolstoi. A 

book which has a world-wide reputation, in fact, the one that 
made its author famous, and one which everyone of mature 
years should read. The closing words of the book show the 
nature of the moral to be deduced : " Yes, that is what I have 
done, that is my experience. We must understand the real 
meaning of the words of the Gospel— Matthew V, 28— which 
relate to the wife, to the sister, and not only to the wife of 
another, but especially to one's own wife." The moral lesson 
to be learned is plainly visible, and its solution is the solution 
of the "higher mind." 

ANNA KARENINE. By Count Leo Tolstoi. Another story 
by this famous Russian, depicting the trials and temptations 
that beset a young 1 woman, showing the development of charac- 
ter under trying ^ordeals and circumstances. Second only to 
the author's Kreutzer Sonata, for his perfect 'in der standing of 
the impulses that govern the relations of the sexes.

"FOriA GORDEYEV." By Maxime Gorky. This book 
made Gorky's literary reputation in Russia, Germany and

Evening Post says : 

" Maxime Gorky, the young Russian poet of the vagabond and the 
proletariat, the most ardent worshipper at the shuine of Nietzsche and his 
ideal 'Over-Man,' owes much of his sudden popularity to his personality. 
The son of a poor upholstsrer, Gorky was thrown upon his own resources 
at the age of nine ar>d since then has experienced a wide range of human 
emotions, struggles, depravity and misery. Shoemaker, apple peddlei; 
painter, dock-hand, railroad workman, baker and tramp, this uniqus 
author had a thousand and one similar occupations, and had even mada 
more than one attempt to take his own life." J

each spirit reveals itself, stripped of 
its bodily covering, in its inmost 
truth."— New York Times. 

" Grewsome, because it is fearfully 
real. But it is compelling for the 
same^reason."— New York World. 

"You rise from the book with a 
shudder— which is a tribute to its 
power— and with the firm conviction 
that capital punishment is a crime — 
another tribute to its author's genius."— Kentucky Post.

THE SHORT CUT. By O. Elliott Flint. A novel of tense, 
palpitating, throbbing, passionate life and love, with scenes laid 
around New York's "Great White Way," setting forth the con-

of self. The magnetism of sex is the pivot on which the world 
revolves. The truth is inevitable. Why close our eyes to facts ?

THE EHPEROR'S CANDLESTICKS. 
By Baroness Orczy. A story of Nihilism 
and Russian Court intrigue, in which a 
powerful band of Nihilists with strong 
Court connections have their most 
cherished plans frustrated through the 
miscarriage of one of their messages con- 
cealed in one of the candlesticks, the other 
candlestick bearing a message concerning 
a secret love affair of the Russian Em- 
peror. The complications which ensue 
keep the reader at a tense pitch of excite-

THE SILENT BATTLE. By Hrs. C. N. Williamson. The 

battle in question is between a powerful, well-known multi-

strong, handsome American, who is in London on a secret 
quest. Their paths meet, and they eventually work together

the stories that made the author famous. It is full of mys- . 
tery, love and adventure, and from the first chapter, which is 
laid in a familiar and well-known monastery, to the last, the 
reader follows the characters with increasing interest. It is 
the kind of a book to take away over the holidays, or read in 
the evenings at home, as it has that "grip" which makes 
it a relaxation to read. It banishes care and trouble, and lifts 
you out of yourself by its strongly woven plot. 

THE NEW MAYOR. Founded upon 
George Broadhurst's Play The Man of the 
Hour. A strong story of politics, love 
and graft, which appeals powerfully to 
every true American. The play has re- 
reived the highest praise and commenda- 
tion from critics and the press.
